From Adiva Sotzsky, member of the Bike Maryland Task Force
We are now ready for the next stage of our efforts to enact
Manslaughter by Vehicle or Vessel – Criminal Negligence
The Bill has passed the House — today– Thursday March 24,
2011 vote was 137-0
We will now address the Senate. I have 2 action items below.
A) Please begin your contact ‘trees’ to have people
call/email their State Senators.
As we all know– they only need to say that they want
Manslaughter by Vehicle or Vessel – Criminal Negligence —
supported. It is HB363 and has passed the House
If they are unsure of their Senator, they can find this
either —https://mdelect.net/electedofficials/
or by name, or county or district at https://www.msa.md.gov/msa/mdmanual/05sen/html/sen.html
B) Well also want to focus on members of the Judicial
Proceedings Committee
By all means, if they are your Senator – contact them
If you want to set up a meeting to talk with them about
the bill — go for it!
