The 2021 legislative session was like no other legislative session in Maryland’s history. The Maryland Chamber of Commerce and its membership remained committed to doing our part in mitigating the COVID-19 public health and economic crisis while advocating for policies aiding economic recovery. Without a doubt, the economic impact and challenges borne from the COVID-19 pandemic were unprecedented and factored into many policy decisions made during these 90 days. Our 2021 Legislative Report includes a detailed overview of the bills relevant to the business community that passed or failed and the Chamber’s position on each.
