How we know this
Every line above comes from the Maryland General Assembly record via Open States. The motion text is shown as recorded, so a procedural vote (to amend, refer or reconsider) is not read as a vote on the bill itself. The source does not say which text version each vote was on; every version is linked below.
Official records. Maryland legislators, bills and roll-call votes from the Maryland General Assembly, imported through Open States on Oct 29, 2026. Accuracy review against the official site is still under way. Campaign-finance records for Maryland are not imported yet.
