Delphey would sponsor Maryland Prop 13 style bill
Delphey, a Frederick County legislator, says he will sponsor or co sponsor a Maryland referendum bill next year. He notes Maryland lacks a citizen referendum process and any change requires a constitutional amendment and legislative action. He consulted the Legislative Reference Service and believes California style Prop 13 would not fully apply here due to Maryland's statewide property tax system and current counties. The proposal would need to pass by January 1979 to reach a voting ballot in fall 1979.
