Many Local Bills Passed By Assembly
The General Assembly adopted major Frederick county legislation including roads powers return to County Commissioners, a new city charter for Frederick, and a permanent county registration system with a 25 percent inventory tax cut. A $2 million Grunswick bridge bond was lost, and several local measures on constables, pensions, salaries, and services were approved subject to governor’s approval. The Brunswick tax and taxi regulation provisions arise, with debated Thurmont measures pending full delegation return. The Roads Board would gain advisory status with final road powers kept by the Commissioners. The Frederick city charter now allows electricity sales for private use.
