The upcoming Maryland Legislative Session opens on Wednesday, January 8, 2025, and lobbyists at Old Line have already been reviewing the slate of bills up for discussion. Up through Sine Die, which is currently slated for Monday, April 7th, there will be a flurry of activity, new bills introduced, committee meetings and hearings – all of which affect Maryland residents and any company doing business in the state of Maryland.
The budget – and its expected multibillion-dollar shortfall – will be high on legislators’ agenda.
