LEGISLATIVE
PRIORITIES 2006-2008
The MRSPA Legislative Committee has statewide
representation and provides leadership to the members on legislative issues which affect
its members and all Maryland citizens. These legislative priorities were
developed with the participation and support of members. The
committee reviews, analyzes and takes positions on legislation, has a
legislative alert system that facilitates communication with members and
legislators, and keeps members informed about legislative efforts when the
Maryland General Assembly is in session. Each year the MRSPA Legislative
Committee sponsors a legislative workshop to inform local
associations about legislative issues. |
