On Tuesday, March 7, Tobacco Control advocates will gather on Lawyers Mall in Annapolis. At 12 noon, advocates and speakers will come together to show Maryland legislators their support for the passage of House Bill 1153 and Senate Bill 526. Everyone interested in showing support and concern for a healthier Maryland is invited to join the rally outside the State House on State Circle in Annapolis.
A Senate Budget and Taxation Committee hearing will be held at 1:00 PM immediately following the rally. Please read the bill (click here for Senate Bill 526).
Write an email, make a phone call, let the committee members and your own legislator know how you feel about the bill. Tell them if you want them to vote for the bill! Find your own legislator through the Maryland Legislative Information System; type in your address and links to your elected officials will list on the left of the page.
