Summary
On March 4 the House cleared a broad set of third‑reading bills on topics from public health and education to consumer protection and local government; here are key votes and outcomes recorded on the floor.
The Maryland House advanced a large slate of third‑reading bills on March 4, many of them passed by comfortable margins. Lawmakers recorded roll‑call votes across multiple calendars; several items attracted floor questions or brief debate while most were carried as reported. Below are selected outcomes captured on the House floor (vote tallies are as recorded by the clerk):
- House Bill 65 (estates and trusts): passed, 120–0 in the affirmative (declared passed). - House Bill 410 (public health food labeling): passed, 91–33. - House Bill 771 (health occupations — human trafficking awareness training): passed, 127–0. - House Bill 838 (State Board of Pharmacy — prescriber‑pharmacist agreements): passed, 130–0. - House Bill 963 (registers & appointment of personal representatives): passed, 108–25. - House Bill 975 (massage therapy advertising rules): passed, 132–1. - House Bill 1004 (public health prohibited food ingredients): passed, 132–1. - House Bill 94 (handgun permits expiration/retired officers): passed, 131–2. - House Bill 8‑77 (institutional debt reporting): passed, 112–21 (after amendment and floor Q&A). - House Bill 13‑55 (Maryland Stablecoin Act): passed, 130–1 (see separate coverage).
Many other bills were also passed on the third‑reading calendars during the session, spanning education, health, environment, local government, and public safety topics; the clerk recorded final passage for the calendars read between SEG 055 and SEG 3570. Several bills were set as special order for later consideration, and the clerk noted numerous individual vote changes after initial roll calls; members were reminded to submit yellow slips for vote corrections.
Outcome and next steps: Passed measures move to the Senate or further processing consistent with the legislatures calendar. Where the transcript records specific vote tallies, those appear above; where no tally is recorded in the transcript excerpt, the outcome is noted as "passed" and details are not specified.
