McClellan bill seeks state oversight of Maryland pilots fees
A House of Delegates committee heard Del. James E. McClellan bill to reform the Maryland Pilots regulatory board and end independent fee setting. The measure would have Public Service Commission oversight based on vessel size and voyage time, with rates tied to fatigue factors and labor hours for long Chesapeake Bay passages. It mirrors a near-miss proposal from last year and targets two pilots on critical bay routes.

J Xenus notes the pilot board would shift control to the Public Service Commission under a bill. He cites annual pilot earnings around 90 000 and warns no pilots may operate after July 1 without the measure. The law would extend ten more years, delaying coal and other goods movement in Western Maryland.
