State Roundup, December 18, 2012

State lawmakers to push effort to ban assault weapons, meanwhile local officials also call for tighter gun control in state and nation and Sen. Mikulski urges NRA to enter the discussion; state racing industry puts forth a long-term plan; as fiscal cliff nears, U.S. Rep. Ruppersberger expresses concern about Maryland military industry and transportation while U.S. Rep. Harris considers tax hike with cuts; Senate Pres Miller urges Gov. O’Malley to hire transportation secretary; and FEMA sets up shop in storm-battered Crisfield.

Legislature launches new website

The Maryland General Assembly launched its new website Monday, modernizing its look and adding several new features. It also has a new URL web address, but users of the old address will be redirected to the site.

Much of the redesign is simply a repackaging of older features, but it puts many of them directly on the homepage, rather than several clicks away. There are also new personalized tools for tracking specific legislation.
