SB 734 House floor discussion: Listen to the bill introduction with a Decoding Dyslexia MD mention! And one for our coalition partners at the Maryland School Psychologists Association too!
On Wednesday, March 27, 2019, SB 734 moved closer to becoming law when it received an unanimous vote on the House floor.  The Senate is expected to concur with the three technical amendments added by House Ways & Means Committee, and no further changes to the legislation are expected.  Once the Senate concurs, the bill is expected to be signed by the Governor.

The Ready to Read bill requires screening & interventions for students at risk for reading difficulties and was heard by the House Ways & Means Committee on Thursday, March 21.  Senator Craig Zucker testified in support of the bill in a "sponsor only" hearing.  Later in the afternoon, the House Ways & Means Education Subcommittee, Chaired by Del. Eric Luedtke, brought the bill up for discussion -- three technical amendments were added to the bill and the subcommittee passed the bill unanimously where it then received unanimous support from the full Ways & Means committee.  

For amended language, please visit the General Assembly website and see the DDMD State Legislative summary.
