Take Action
Legislative info for 2012. Updated 4/10/2012.
The 2012 legislative session took important steps towards cleaner local waters and protected rural lands. The legislature, with strong leadership from Governor O’Malley, recognized the importance of smart growth for the health of our environment and the strength of our economy.
Legislators made progress stemming rural sprawl, funding water restoration projects, and improving our community investment programs. The legislature also held off significant attacks on the state’s planning authority and land preservation funding.
Several important issues remain unaddressed. These include: ensuring Maryland’s transportation funding is on track, requiring nutrient removing technology on septic systems, and establishing a growth and offset policy for Chesapeake Bay restoration. 1000 Friends will continue to work hard this summer on those critical policies.
