2020 Legislative Report

The Maryland Chamber is proud to lead its membership, policymakers and other external stakeholders in support of policies that promote free enterprise, job creation and economic expansion. Throughout the 2020 legislative session, we worked diligently to support the passage of state legislation that would serve those goals, and prevent the passage of bills that would not.
We’re pleased to present our 2020 Legislative Report–a comprehensive review of all state legislation that the Chamber supported or opposed throughout the 2020 legislative session, and the final status of those bills.
