I called the committee offices and learned that: The House of Delegates Environmental Matters Committee usually votes on Fridays but didn't do so this past week, and hasn't voted on the hunting bill yet. It could be anytime between now and 3/29 when committee reports are due. The Senate Committee also usually votes on Fridays but do so this past week, and hasn't voted on the hunting bill yet. The staffer I spoke with wasn't sure what the deadline for committee reports is. So, I'll just keep checking the Maryland Legislative Information Systems website and you can be sure I'll post here the second anything happens.
