Carroll County state lawmakers approve several local bill requests

Several county-specific requests for funding, liquor licenses, and urban renewal authority, were approved by members of the Carroll County delegation to the Maryland General Assembly during a Zoom meeting on Thursday. These legislative requests were made to delegation members at a public hearing in Westminster on Jan. 13. The approval Thursday is the next step in a lengthy legislative process that includes passage by both the House and Senate and being signed into law by the governor. Most of this takes place during the 90-day legislative session, which ends April 10.
