Summary: Our entry point into legislative efforts in 2025 has been attempts to introduce a bill that would supervise demonstrations at schools in a manner consistent with the Tinker legal decision. The process has been illuminating. We interviewed a couple of dozen legislators. Most have been willing to vote in favor of HoCoJAG’s draft bill, but we did not find legislator sponsors for the bill. As in part detailed below, we did find opportunity to introduce our main asks into ongoing legislation efforts being considered in year 2025. We established numerous positive relations with Maryland legislators, for ongoing and future efforts.
