The MD legislature UNANIMOUSLY passed SB168 in #mdga25, which would have protected communities against testing & construction of Confined Aquatic Disposal cells - but Governor Moore vetoed this bipartisan legislation.

This week Governor Wes Moore signed a bill that will make health insurance more affordable for young adults. We thank #mdga25, lead sponsors Del. Ken Kerr, Sen. Clarence Lam, Sen. Brian Feldman, Sen. Antonio Hayes, and Gov. Moore for enacting this measure which will make Maryland a healthier state.

On the left, the Clean Water Action logo and pictures of people holding a banner that says "Burning trash is not clean energy," a compost heap, and a line of rowhomes. On the right, text that says: "2025 Maryland Legislative Priorities. Passed: Reclaim Renewable Energy Act. Didn't pass: CHERISH Our Communities Act, Food Waste Infrastructure Grants, Safer Septics, Bottle Bill. Blocked: PFAs in Pesticides. www.cleanwater.org/md."
On Monday, Maryland ended its 90-day legislative session. #mdga25
We worked with our coalition partners to deliver some victories - and have much more work to do. #EnvironmentalJustice #ZeroWaste

Thanks to their own incompetence, Governor Wes Moore and Legislative Democrats have given a big "Up yours!" to Maryland taxpayers at the beginning of a recession. #MDPolitics #MDGA25 #Maryland #MDGov

It's official: in a historic win for #EnvironmentalJustice & #ClimateAction, Maryland has deleted trash incineration from its Renewable Portfolio Standard.
Burning trash is not clean energy - and now Maryland law agrees! #ZeroWaste #mdga25

We need the senate to vote on the Maryland Wasted Food Reduction and Diversion Fund (HB42) today! HB42 creates a Maryland Wasted Food Reduction and Diversion Fund to support local governments, businesses, and community organizations to compost, reduce wasted food, and divert usable food for donation. This bill has passed the House but not the Senate - and unless Senator Feldman schedules a vote on it TODAY, the bill will die! Committee Chair Senator Brian Feldman District 15, Montgomery County 410-841-3169 Make 1 call and leave this message: Hello, my name is ___________, and I am requesting that Senator Feldman schedule House Bill 42, the Wasted Food Reduction and Diversion Fund and Grant Programs Bill, for a vote TODAY. The amendments that came out of the House have removed any opposition to the bill. Can I count on Senator ________ to schedule the bill for a vote today?
Today is the last day of #mdga25. We're still waiting for the Senate to vote on important #ZeroWaste legislation HB42!
Call Committee Chair Feldman today, then click here to email your own representatives in support of #composting! #mdga25

SB 130 Education - Student Personal Electronic Device Use Policy - Required "Requiring the State Department of Education, in collaboration with stakeholders, to develop guidelines for a policy on student use of personal electronic devices during school hours; requiring county boards of education, in consultation with students, parents, teachers, and school personnel, to develop and adopt a policy that limits students from using personal electronic devices except for purposes of a student's individualized education program, to monitor a student's health issue, or when directed for educational purposes; etc."
Closing out last Wed. w/ a ton of bills reviewed by Ways & Means. SB 130 from Sen. Joanne Benson seems to have emerged as the big school cell phone policy use bill of #MDGA25, passing the Senate at Crossover 43-0: mgaleg.maryland.gov/mgawebsite/L...

A picture of a stack of colorful postcards with text that reads "9,000 pounds of food is discarded in each school cafeteria yearly!!! Totaling 12,000,000 pounds from 1420 Maryland public schools annually. Schools that compost, recover food, and recycle reduce waste by 85%. It's no longer ok not to act. Help us change the future."
2 weeks left in MD's legislative session #mdga25: the Senate needs to act for #ZeroWaste!
Add your voice to the 6,000 postcards students with Lunch Out of Landfills delivered in support of HB24/SB134: act.cleanwater.org/page/168168/...

Good afternoon & welcome to another week of #NotableMarylandBills, the penultimate one for #MDGA25, actually. Theoretically I'm trying to make this the sole thread for the week but if I take a day or two to finish it, so be it; either way Fri. doesn't have any bill hearings.

Senator Brian Feldman looks out from podium over a crowd of several hundred people in a church sanctuary.
Tonight, Senator Brian Feldman's committee meets to consider whether Md needs *more* gas-burning 🔥 power plants, with *less* recourse for communities when these polluters come into our neighborhoods. 🤯
All day, our District 15 congregations are calling to say: NO! (📸

"This is a tough budget year. We're very concerned about where dollars go & do we get the best use of our money. Investing in dirty energy just isn't good policy."

We must block HB386, which would have protected Marylanders from #PFAS in pesticides, after the House adopted industry amendments that would make the bill do more harm than good. #mdga25
Take action: act.cleanwater.org/page/168171/...

It's sad but true - we have to oppose what had been our own bill to protect Marylanders from #PFAS. #mdga25
"It’s just that damaging."
"This is not a compromise. This would be a sell-out."

Carlos Sanchez testified last month to #ReclaimRenewable Energy: "which I've been in support of since I was 13. I'm turning 20 years old." Communities have had to fight against greenwashing trash incineration for far too long.
#ReclaimRenewable is must-pass in #mdga25 - MD can't afford more delay!

Good afternoon & welcome to the first post-Crossover edition of #NotableMarylandBills for #MDGA25. As longtime readers from Twitter may remember, w/ the exception of the first year or two of these threads, the whole exercise has really tended to peter out rather abruptly come Crossover time…
