BRADLEY SEARS, ESQ. THE WILLIAMS INSTITUTE, UCLA SCHOOL OF LAW EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Same-sex marriage in Maryland will have a positive impact on the state budget of approximately $3.2 million annually. This analysis estimates the potential impact of extending marriage rights to same-sex couples on Maryland’s state budget. Drawing on data from the U.S. Census Bureau and Maryland statistical reports, we estimate that extending marriage rights to same-sex couples would result in a net gain of approximately $3.2 million each year. This net gain is attributable to savings in expenditures on means- tested public benefit programs and an increase in sales and lodging tax revenue from weddings and wedding-related tourism. Our analyses are grounded in the methodology employed in previous studies examining the effect of same-sex marriage rights on the budgets of California,1 Colorado,2 Connecticut,3 Massachusetts,4 New Hampshire,5 New Jersey,6 New Mexico,7 Vermont,8 and Washington.9 Detailed accounts of these methods can be found in Putting a Price on Equality? The Impact of Same-Sex Marriage on California’s Budget.10 Findings from all of these studies suggest that extending marriage rights to same-sex couples would result in a positive impact on state budgets.

  • S:\COA Users\COAPOOL\Lewis V. Waletzky, No. 3, Sept. Term, 2010
    Katherine M. Lewis v. Jeremy P. Waletzky, Misc. No. 3, September Term, 2010 MARYLAND HEALTH CARE CLAIMS ACT - WAIVER - ADMINISTRATIVE FILING REQUIREMENTS - The Maryland Health Care Claims Act (“Act”) requires that all medical malpractice plaintiffs, prior to pursuing suit in circuit court, complete several administrative filing requirements. Failure to comply with those administrative filing requirements results in dismissal of the claim without prejudice. CHOICE OF LAW - TORT - LEX LOCI DELICTI - SUBSTANTIVE V. PROCEDURAL DICHOTOMY - Maryland adheres to the doctrine of lex loci delicti for matters of substantive tort law. Under that doctrine, Maryland state courts will apply the law of the place of injury to determine the substantive rights of the parties. Procedural matters—i.e., matters that concern “the manner in which the forum administers justice” or simply “restrict, limit, define, qualify, or otherwise simply modify” an existing cause of action—are always governed by the law of Maryland, regardless of the place of injury. Because the Act’s administrative filing requirements at issue here are procedural, the plaintiff was required to have satisfied those requirements. IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF MARYLAND Misc. No. 3 September Term, 2010 KATHERINE M. LEWIS v. JEREMY P. WALETZKY Bell, C.J., Harrell Battaglia Greene *Murphy Adkins Barbera, JJ. Opinion by Barbera, J. Murphy and Adkins, JJ., dissent.
