Lierman vi viii Agency Instructions Responding to Restricted Appropriations or Report Requests The Joint Chairmen’s Report (JCR) lists each action adopted by the General Assembly in the budget bill, including reductions and budget bill language, with explanations. Budget language may, among other things, restrict funding pending the submission of a report or other action. The JCR also includes committee narrative adopted by the budget committees, which is generally used to request reports or additional information. Restricted Appropriations: Where all or a portion of an appropriation is restricted, approval to release restricted funds should be requested from the budget committees, with a copy sent to the agency’s budget analyst at the Department of Legislative Services (DLS). Each request should include a cover letter addressed to the budget committee chairs and should identify the agency, the amount restricted, the fund source, and should specifically note that the release of restricted funds is being requested. Failure to copy the DLS analyst may result in delays in processing release of fund requests. See “Submission Procedures” below for specific direction for all items. Please note that some restricted items have a specific due date. If a due date cannot be met, an agency should submit a letter to the budget committees and DLS to request an extension (see “Requesting an Extension” below). Reports: Budget language or committee narrative may request an agency to complete an extensive study, status report, or other actions. All reports requested via committee narrative have a specific due date. Copies of all items should also be sent to the individual budget committee members and DLS using the procedures outlined under “Submission Procedures.” An extension should be requested for any item where submission may exceed the designated due date. Submission Procedures: All agency reports and studies submitted in response to committee narrative or budget bill language are required to be submitted both in electronic form and hard copy: • Electronic copies should be sent via email only to [email protected]. The naming convention for each item should include the session year of the JCR, the page in the JCR in which the item appears, an agency abbreviation, and the title of eportthe r (e.g., 2018_p95_DNR_Dredging Report). DLS will distribute electronic copies to the Office of Policy Analysis staff and members of the budget committees. Electronic documents may EITHER use Adobe Acrobat OR Microsoft Word software, with tables and charts in either Word or through use of embedded (not linked) Excel files. (Word 2013 and Excel 2013 are preferred, but DLS can convert older versions.) NOTE: if files to be emailed are larger than 10 MB, they cannot be sent via email.

  • Advocate for Redistricting Reform
    Advocate for Redistricting Reform Baltimore City LWV and Baltimore County LWV are teaming up to advocate for redistricting reform, one of the State League’s top priorities. If you received this email, it is because your State Senator is a member of the Senate Education, Health and Environmental Affairs Committee OR your State Delegate is a member of the House Rules and Executive Nominations Committee. We are asking you to reach out to your senator or delegate about two bills. The Senate EHEA committee has already held a hearing (2/28) on SB 90 Elections - Legislative and Congressional Redistricting and Apportionment - Commission and Process and SB 110 -Congressional Districts - Standards. We are concerned about these bills not being passed out of Committee, so we are asking that you call or email your representative on the Senate EHEA committee as soon as possible to urge them to vote favorably on these bills to move them out of Committee. The House Rules and Executive Nominations Committee will be holding a hearing on March 4 on the cross-filed HB 43 Elections - Legislative and Congressional Redistricting and Apportionment - Commission and Process and HB 463 - Congressional Districts Standards (Anti-Gerrymandering of Maryland's Congressional Districts). Please call or email your representative that Committee with the same message – urge them to vote these bills out of Committee.

  • Iam Pleased to Serve As President of Women Legislators of Maryland
    Untitled-1 1 12/21/2018 1:23:26 PM Untitled-1 2 12/21/2018 1:23:28 PM A Message President of Women Legislators of Maryland Foundation, Incorporated I am pleased to serve as President of Women Legislators of Maryland Foundation, Incorporated. WLMF was established in 2006 through the efforts of The Honorable Eileen Rehrmann, a former delegate and the first woman to serve as County Executive of Harford County. WLMF’s first President was the late Delegate Pauline Menes, a founder of Women Legislators of Maryland (Women’s Caucus). WLMF was organized to assist the Women’s Caucus in achieving its funding potential in support of its agenda. The Women’s Caucus’ agenda addresses equal rights for women and children, primarily in connection with education, employment, economic development, and social opportunities. Throughout the history and advancement of our great nation, women have been an untapped and underutilized resource. However, today we celebrate! We are ecstatic to report that 2018 has truly been the year of the woman. I am delighted to share that record numbers of women ran successfully for office nationwide during the 2018 mid-term elections. The number of women in the Maryland General Assembly reached an all-time high of 72 members. In addition, WLMF is proud to report and salute the historical appointment of Victoria “Vicki” L. Gruber to the position of Executive Director of the Maryland Department of Legislative Services, on January 1, 2018. WLMF and the Women’s Caucus recognize and appreciate the leadership of Thomas V. “Mike” Miller Jr., President, Maryland Senate, and Michael E.

    February 16, 2020 The Honorable Maggie McIntosh, Chairman House Appropriations Committee 6 Bladen Street, Suite 121 Annapolis, Maryland 21401 The Honorable Anne Kaiser, Chairman House Ways and Means Committee 6 Bladen Street, Suite 131 Annapolis, Maryland 21401 Dear Madame Chairs, As you are aware, at Noon tomorrow, February 7, 2012, four committees in the General Assembly will hold a joint hearing on HB 1300/SB 1000 – Blueprint for Maryland’s Future – Implementation. This is one of the most significant pieces of legislation the Maryland General Assembly has considered in a generation; not only because of the fundamental changes it is said to make in our education system but also for the tremendous price tag that it carries. For better or for worse, this legislation will have a staggering impact on Maryland for years to come. It is our duty, as the elected representatives who will consider and ultimately vote on this monumental piece of legislation, to do so thoughtfully and carefully. It is critical that this legislation is thoroughly vetted and analyzed, and that we hear from all parties who will be impacted by this legislation. It is just as critical that we, and the public, have access to all of the information and analysis available. It is with an abundance of concern that, at this juncture, this legislation appears to be moving forward at a rushed pace, that we write to you today. As we write this letter, the hearing for this bill is less than 24 hours away. And yet, after more than three years of meetings, decisions, and recommendations from the Kirwan Commission and months of planning and analysis by the Department of Legislative Services, there is no Fiscal Note available; neither to the members sitting on the Committees nor to the public.

  • The Value of Historic Preservation in Maryland (1999)
    The Value of Historic Preservation in Maryland Donovan D. Rypkema This report was authored by Donovan D. Rypkema, Principal, Real Estate Services Group, Inc., Washington, D.C. It was produced by Preservation Maryland in collaboration with the Maryland Heritage Alliance, Maryland Association of Historic District Commissions, and Maryland Association of History Museums. Funding support was provided by the Maryland Historical Trust. Preservation Maryland is a state-wide non-profit organization dedicated to preserving Maryland’s rich and diverse heritage of buildings, landscapes and archeological sites.Through advocacy, outreach, and funding programs Preservation Maryland assists individuals and communities with efforts to protect and utilize their historic resources. Design: Peter Parker, ArtWorks Editor: Deborah Rager Foreword aryland has always valued its historic resources. The cultural, M social, historical, educational, and aesthetic value of historic preser- vation to the cities, towns, suburbs, and rural areas of Maryland is widely recognized. Annapolis, the most historic of the 50 state capitals, is a source of pride to all Marylanders.The more than 220 heritage museums in every corner of the state reflect the value each community gives its own, individual history. From Fort McHenry to Antietam, from downtown Cumberland to the Babe Ruth Birthplace to the Wye Grist Mill on the Eastern Shore, Maryland has a rich variety of historic assets With the publication of The Value of Historic Preservation in Maryland we discover that those historic assets provide valuable economic rewards as well.This study begins to quantify the economic impact of our historic resources. Jobs, visitors, and the film industry each have a significant preser- vation economic component.
