Maryland House Thwarts Beer Tax Increase Battle
In Annapolis the General Assembly blocked a hike from three to nine cents a gallon after a tense session requiring three Senate roll calls. The final tally near adjournment ended 21 to 21, killing the 1971 effort. If approved, the tax would have raised over $4 million for counties and Baltimore City, despite assertions the beer lobby influenced votes.

Dr John W Money says the course aims to open discussion and improve diagnostic understanding, noting few doctors receive sex education and that pediatricians often struggle with sexual development cases.

Public Defender Bill Enacted In Maryland Legislature
The Maryland General Assembly approved a statewide public defender system to provide legal representation for indigent suspects. The measure passed the House 78 to 39 and moves to Gov. Mandel for final action. The plan funds a state defender, a deputy, and 12 district defenders across 12 district courts starting July, with defenders listing lawyers to handle most indigent work. Opposition warned of rising costs, and concerns about the defender’s political power remain. The session also advanced a merit-system bill for election board staff and settled District Court issues including Trial De Novo rules.
