O’Malley this time claims there is sufficient support in the Senate, which twice blocked his previous legislation after approval by the lower house. Both chambers are controlled by his Democratic Party.
He says that 24 senators will co-sponsor the bill, double the number in 2012, a majority in the 47-seat Senate.
The new bill is similar to the one last year. It creates a carve-out for offshore wind energy in Maryland’s renewable portfolio standard.
