Senate Delays Auto Fee Hike and Real Estate Reassessments
In Annapolis the Senate sent to the House a bill delaying the auto registration fee increase to 1956, amid a 20-8 vote, with opponents arguing it would hurt the 1953 roads program. The House also moved to delay the same increase and approved a measure for annual real estate reassessment starting 1956, delayed to July 1. The session also addressed court appointments, tax acts, and election staffing as authorities gauge fiscal impacts and future budgets.
