Republicans propose changes to state of emergency order following bridge collapse

Two state senators are proposing an extension of emergency powers for the governor following the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. The bill — introduced Thursday with roughly a week left in the 90-day General Assembly session — comes two days after a massive cargo ship struck the Key Bridge. The 47-year-old span collapsed into the Patapsco River between Baltimore and Anne Arundel counties. The bodies of two workers were recovered Wednesday.
