Violent crime bill survives committee vote in Annapolis
In Annapolis the tougher penalties for sexual predators survived a House Judiciary Committee vote as lawmakers weighed how police would apply the measure. Delegate Joseph Vallario warned the bill could be used as a hammer, while Delegate Sue Hecht pushed Christopher's Laws in response to the Frederick boy's death. The panel also rejected another Hecht proposal and postponed one on Internet harassment from Delegate Louise Snodgrass.

Water fee bill faces near death in committee
A Maryland environmental bill to raise water withdrawal fees stalled after the committee chair said it has no votes. The plan targets over 10,000 gallons daily, raising fees from 5 to 5000 dollars annually for about 2700 current permit holders, many farmers. The agriculture subcommittee recommended killing the measure.

Maryland to raise salaries for top state officials
Maryland officials face a $30,000 pay rise over four years, increasing the lieutenant governor’s salary from $100,000 to $125,000 by 2006. The commission’s recommendations take effect unless rejected, as Republicans push for a debate that could block the raise. The plan follows a long pause in governor pay and ranks the governor around No. 160 nationally.

Frederick to tighten licensing for massage parlors
Frederick officials pass an ordinance requiring non state licensed massage businesses to undergo city licensing with criminal background checks and fingerprinting before licensing. The measure, modeled on Montgomery County, limits massage to same sex clients and subjects parlors to inspections while exempting state certified therapists. Police say it aims to curb prostitution and migration of such businesses to Frederick.

Bill Would Raise Vehicle Fines in Maryland
Maryland lawmakers consider a 20 increase to motor vehicle violation fines. The added revenue would fund a revolving low interest loan program for fire and rescue equipment and station renovations. Delegate Norman Conway notes Sept 11 boosted support for first responders and urges House Judiciary to back the bill as a fallback if the registration hike fails.
