House passes regulatory reform in Maryland House vote
The Maryland House of Delegates approved the Regulatory Standards and Accountability Act 82 to 53 to curb state regulatory stringency. The measure, backed by Frederick County delegates, would require agencies to justify stricter rules and align with federal standards unless public interest or benefits outweigh business drag. Supporters touted balance and predictability. opponents warned of chilling environmental safeguards and health protections. Governor Glendening had earlier issued a similar executive order, but lawmakers want statute permanence to ensure future administrations uphold reform. Delegates cited relocations by Bausch and Lomb and Lehigh Portland Cement to illustrate a harsher regulatory climate driving business away and urging steady commitment to reform commitments.
