Death Penalty Repeal Bill Moving to Second Reader
Maryland Senate Republican Caucus 11:09 AM March 3, 2009
The Maryland Senate took up the death penalty debate during their morning session today. Senator Lisa Gladden (D - Baltimore City) moved that the bill be substituted for the unfavorable report of the Judicial Proceedings Committee. That motion passed by a vote of 25 yeas and 22 nays.
The next motion was to move the bill to second reader essentially providing a favorable report to the bill by the full Senate. That motion passed by a vote of 24 yeas and 23 nays.
President Miller announced that the Senate will have a second session today so that amendments can be offered and debated during the afternoon session.
