~~2018 Legislative Wrap - Up~~

The 438th legislative session of the Maryland General Assembly drew to a close at midnight on April 9. In the final year of Governor Larry Hogan’s first term, and with at least 40 lawmakers seeking higher office next year or leaving the legislature entirely, there was an urgency for action that led to the introduction of over 3,000 bills. In a continuing effort to expand access to quality mental health and substance use disorder services, MHAMD and the Maryland Behavioral Health Coalition navigated this deluge to achieve significant victories on a range of priority issues. All major initiatives advanced this year by the Coalition were adopted.
