Summary: The House opened with the Pledge of Allegiance and then took up several committee reports and procedural motions. The Committee on Rules recommended adoption of two resolutions: one recognizing the 100th anniversary of Ayrhill Farms in Adams and another congratulating Fiona White on earning the Girl Scouts’ Gold Award. The House suspended the rules and adopted both resolutions. The House also suspended Joint Rule 12 to allow a petition concerning a board overseeing occupancy payments for manufactured housing community accommodations in Attleboro to be sent to the Committee on Municipalities and Regional Government. The Committee on Steering, Policy and Scheduling reported a slate of bills for House consideration, including measures on banking and credit union law, a local option real estate tax exemption for volunteer firefighters and EMTs, electronic filing of property valuation forms, delivery of property tax bills, notification of deceased animals on state highways, a Boston Fire Department age waiver for firefighter Fustiano’s Katayakis, and validation of Bourne’s May 20, 2025 annual election. The House suspended Rule 7A, took second readings on these bills, and ordered them to a third reading. The House then considered several bills released from the Committee on Bills in Third Reading. It passed to be engrossed House Bill 4185, relating to the nomination process for town meeting candidates in Milford; House Bill 4374, designating an overpass in Sandwich as the U.S. Marine Staff Sergeant Raymond G. Torval Veteran Memorial Overpass; House Bill 4391, waiving the Boston Police Department maximum age requirement for Alex J. Rodriguez; and House Bill 4753, relative to the charter of the town of Westwood. The House adopted an order to adjourn to meet Tuesday at 11 a.m., and then adjourned to that time in informal session.

Summary: The Assembly Appropriations Committee met on September 10, 2025, with one bill on the agenda: SB 733 by Senator Rahab. The author described the measure as a cleanup bill that clarifies implementation of SB 464, which gave sexual assault survivors the right to opt out of testing their sexual assault kits. The bill was presented as providing clearer procedures for practitioners and investigating agencies, especially when a survivor is undecided about whether to have a kit tested. The California Department of Justice testified in a neutral position and said it was available to answer technical questions. The California Association of Crime Lab Directors also took a neutral position, thanking the author and committee staff for amendments that preserved efficiencies in the transfer and handling of kits while clarifying whether kits should be tested. No opposition was voiced. The committee then moved the bill, and SB 733 was passed out of committee on a roll call vote with an A recommendation. The meeting then adjourned after no further public comment or additional business.

Summary: The meeting was a Ways and Means briefing opened by the vice chair, who introduced Jason Wong of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston to discuss the national and regional economy. Wong focused on inflation, asking why it had fallen from about 9% in 2022 to the 2%–3% range, and what that meant for monetary policy and the risk of an economic downturn. He said the Fed’s target is 2%, noted that recent PCE inflation was about 2.4% and core PCE about 2.7%, and described the ongoing debate over whether interest rates should stay tight or be lowered further to protect the labor market. Wong explained that the improvement in inflation has been driven largely by goods prices, especially durable goods such as cars, appliances, and furniture, as well as non-durable goods like food. He said supply-chain disruptions during the pandemic caused major price spikes in 2022, but those pressures have eased and many goods prices are now at or below the Fed’s target. He also referenced the New York Fed’s Global Supply Chain Pressure Index, saying it showed extreme pandemic-era disruptions that have since receded. The main remaining inflation problem, he said, is in services, especially housing. Wong broke services into rent of shelter and all other services, explaining that shelter is a large share of household budgets and that housing inflation has a lag because rent measures often reflect older lease terms rather than current market rents. He said monthly Zillow data suggest market rents have cooled and may eventually feed through to official inflation measures. Members asked several questions about the chart’s time scale, the treatment of real estate, property taxes, and utilities, and Wong clarified that housing costs are counted in services and that the slides would be shared digitally. No votes or formal actions were taken.

Summary: The House Judiciary Committee met in executive session and first took up HB 148, which would allow classification by biological sex in limited circumstances such as multi-use bathrooms, certain athletic events, and involuntary commitment facilities. Supporters argued the bill was needed to protect privacy and safety, especially for women and girls, and said it was consistent with recent federal actions and prior legislation. Opponents said the bill lacked a clear definition of biological sex, could create confusion and discrimination, and was unnecessary because existing law and sports rules already address the issues raised. After debate, the committee voted 10-8 to recommend ought to pass on HB 148. The chair asked for a majority report and noted that a minority report would likely be filed. The committee then considered HB 254, a bill related to end-of-life medical decision-making. Supporters framed it as a matter of liberty and relief from suffering for terminally ill patients, while opponents raised moral objections, concerns about suicide being normalized, and worries about deceptive wording and death-certificate reporting. HB 254 was approved on an 11-7 vote for ought to pass, with the chair indicating he would write the majority report and Representative Perez the minority report. The committee then moved to HB 611 with Amendment 2025-0638, a replace-all amendment restoring prior law on recoupment of appointed-counsel costs from indigent criminal defendants and juveniles. The chair explained the amendment as reversing 2020 changes that had limited cost recovery, and the discussion focused on financial affidavits and the Office of Cost Containment’s ability to review indigency claims. The transcript cuts off before the committee vote on HB 611.

Summary: The House convened with 124 members present, opened with prayer, and approved the previous day’s journal. Members then adopted a congratulatory House resolution honoring the Kent Island High School boys lacrosse team for winning the 2025 Maryland Class 2A state championship. The House also journalized Baltimore City 2026 bond/loan authorization resolutions and moved a series of introductory House bills and bond initiatives through first reading and committee referral without objection. On the special order calendar, House Bill 28, concerning higher education/private career schools advertising, received a favorable report and was ordered printed for third reading. House Bill 226, creating a Department of Disabilities housing programs and affiliated foundations structure, was also reported favorably as amended. Two floor amendments were adopted to that bill: one clarifying that any affiliated foundation may only raise funds or provide support and may not run programs or set policy, and another restoring conflict-of-interest and ethics protections, including limits on family members and public ethics application requirements. A later amendment to HB 226 was rejected by a recorded vote of 95 in the negative, and the bill was ordered printed for third reading. The most extended debate centered on House Bill 229, which increases the Maryland Transportation Authority’s revenue bond limit from $4 billion to $5 billion to help finance the Francis Scott Key Bridge rebuild. One amendment sought to prohibit toll increases without General Assembly approval; its sponsor argued the added borrowing would likely lead to future toll hikes and that elected representatives should vote on them. The floor leader opposed the amendment, saying it would weaken MDTA’s independent rate-setting authority, harm its bond rating, and increase financing costs, while noting the bill is intended to cover bridge reconstruction costs and federal reimbursement timing. After debate, the amendment failed on a recorded vote, and HB 229 was ordered printed for third reading.
