Commission hears state-level legislative wins and statewide coordination
Summary
Commissioner Tatiana Levone reported that three Maryland bills passed (including menopause care and contraception-extension legislation) and Chair Allison McCord said the Maryland Commission for Women offered continued support for local event planning and resource sharing.
Tatiana Levone told the commission on May 18 that three Maryland legislative bills relevant to women had passed this session, specifically citing a Menopause Care measure and a Senate/House bill extending contraception access; she encouraged commissioners to sign up for the Maryland Commission for Women newsletter for further details.
Chair Allison McCord said she participated in a May 7 Maryland Commission for Women Zoom led by Chair Ariana Kelly that included presentations on human trafficking and illegally run massage parlors, and that Michelle Schultz from the Maryland Commission for Women offered to keep channels of communication open to support the local commission’s Women’s Resource Fair planning. Tatiana reminded members that newsletters and forwarded links are time-limited (viewable for roughly a week after distribution).
The update was informational; commissioners did not vote on state policy matters but recorded the legislative news as part of the commission’s regular liaison activity with the Maryland Commission for Women. Commissioners asked to provide contact lists of local organizations to Tatiana for inclusion on Resource Fair planning and to help broaden outreach.
