The sponsor of the bill is Lisa Gladden. I've done a little research on our representative and found she is something of a laughing stock of the Dem party. She once said, (I'm paraphrasing) "It's okay that Maryland is going broke as long as Barrack Obama is President." She's made some other gaffes while in office, but I don't think she's being taken too seriously this year. BTW, she's sponsored a bunch of bills this year. Seems like she likes to have her name associated with as many bills as possible.

FYI,
Jim Smith
