Maryland House kills optional add on PIP auto insurance bill
The Maryland House of Delegates voted 70 to 88 to kill a measure that would have allowed motorists to opt out of mandatory Personal Injury Protection PIP. Opponents argued PIP protects non drivers and raises premiums for all, while supporters claimed most have other health coverage. The debate highlighted rural versus high risk areas and the bill faces slim chances of revival.

State Senate and House pass port reform with disputes
In Annapolis the Senate backed a Maryland Port Administration reorganization bill, shifting key hiring and procurement control to the port. The House approved a different version that dropped a provision exempting port officials from state purchasing rules, while the Senate kept it. A conference committee may resolve the differences as labor unions and maritime groups raise concerns about board representation and worker benefits.
