Happy Monday! Here are the meetings you need to be aware of this week,

The major meeting in the DC Council this week will occur not in a full council hearing but in the Labor & Workforce Development committee. Six bills will be discussed that will impact many DC residents. The Parity in Workers’ Compensation Recovery Amendment Act of 2022, Green New Deal for a Lead-Free DC Amendment Act of 2022, and the Pay Range Act of 2022

In Maryland, there are several legislative meetings occurring in both Prince George's County and Montgomery County, with bills being introduced or having their final vote. In Montgomery County Bill 32-22, Department of Health and Human Services - Structure and Positions, which would have the name of the bill suggests change the structure of the Department of Health. It would make the Chief of Public Health Services a non-merit position, eliminate the Chief Operating Officer as a non-merit position, and remove the requirement that the County Health Officer also serve as the Chief of the Direct Service Division for Public Services. Prince George's County would have first reading of a number of bills that, if enacted, will have a direct impact on data collection, housing, and commerce. CLPA will report on a number of these bills throughout the week.
