ADThe legislature, where Democrats hold three-fifths majorities in both chambers, has reversed the vast majority of policy vetoes Hogan has issued since taking office six years ago. ADAll the bills were passed during the 2019 legislative session, which ended in April, and vetoed by Hogan in May. Hogan argued that some usurped his power, and said others were poor public policy. ADThe Handgun Permit Review Board has been under heavy scrutiny since Hogan took office, criticized for granting more permits and for its spotty adherence to Maryland’s open meeting laws. Collectively, the legislature voted 126 to 58 to reinstate a law that Maryland’s watermen said could harm their oyster harvest.
