Maryland Legislative Update

Friday, April 12, 2002

Maryland`s 2002 Legislative Session ended Monday at midnight, and no anti-gun legislation passed this year! But the work is not over just yet. HB 9, which extends Maryland`s deer hunting season to 21 days and includes limited Sunday hunting, is sitting on Governor Glendening`s (D) desk. Please call the Governor`s office at 410-974-3901 and ask him to sign HB9 into law. Also, call your Legislators to let them know you appreciate all their efforts to try to make this a productive legislative year. The Maryland General Assembly can be reached at 800-492-7122.
