General Assembly of Maryland

The General Assembly of Maryland is the state's legislative body, consisting of two chambers: the Maryland House of Delegates and the Maryland Senate. It is responsible for creating, amending, and passing laws that govern Maryland, overseeing the state budget, and representing the interests of its residents. Members are elected by voters and work together to shape policy on issues such as education, health, transportation, and public safety. The General Assembly meets annually to discuss and decide on legislation, serving as the primary lawmaking authority in Maryland.
