State Roundup, April 10, 2013

The National Rifle Association and state conservatives are taking aim at Maryland’s new gun regulations; while Gov. O’Malley signed 152 bills into law on Tuesday, repeal of the death penalty and the gun regulations weren’t among them; Maryland’s liberals may find a high cost to passing a progressive agenda; local news outlets took a closer look at legislation specific to their communities: Of Carroll, Arundel, Frederick and Garrett, some are winners, some are not; one Baltimore County councilwoman is seeking to delay the vote on its local, state-mandated stormwater fees; and Gov. O’Malley will head to Denmark to speak on progressive governing.

New public-private partnership bill for infrastructure projects signed into law

A House bill refining guidelines for public-private partnerships (P3s) was signed into law by Gov. Martin O’Malley Tuesday after finally passing the House and Senate in the closing days of the session. The idea is to leverage private financing and construction contracting to build infrastructure projects the state wants more efficiently without adding to bond debt.
