2022 Fall Session Recap

Mon, 21 Nov 2022 13:20:07 -0500

Over November 12 and 13, we went to McDaniel College and met with delegations from around the state to participate in the 2022 Fall Session of Maryland Student Legislature. Attendance included over 30 students from UMBC, Mount St. Mary's University, Hood College, McDaniel College, University of Maryland, Howard Community College, and College of Southern Maryland. Out of 37 bills on the docket, 18 were considered and 14 passed the assembly. All of the bills that were passed will be forwarded to the Maryland General Assembly for their consideration. All of the bills that were not considered during this session will be put on the docket for Annual Session in the spring.

Many of our members had great success this session. Four bills from our delegation were passed. Congrats to Poushali Banerjee, Aurora Quezada, Zoe Smith, Diana Torres, and Aashna Gupta. Another member of our delegation, Dominick Satterwhite, was elected as leader of the Tory Caucus. Dominick Satterwhite and other members of our delegation also worked with the MSL Board to launch a Discord server for students from across the state to connect.

We are greatly looking forward to all of the events that MSL has scheduled for the spring semester. The Spring Leadership Training Institute will be held on February 18, 2023 at University of Maryland. Annual Session will take place in Annapolis on April 29 and 30, 2023.
