CARTER BILL WOULD PREVENT FELONY MURDER CONVICTION OF MINORS: Sen. Jill Carter (D-Baltimore City) Tuesday emphasized her support for legislation that would prohibit minors from being convicted of first-degree murder and allow those who committed that crime as a minor to petition to have that finding reviewed by a court, reports Bryan Renbaum for Maryland Reporter.
HOGAN TO EXPAND VAXX ELIGIBILITY: Gov. Larry Hogan said Tuesday that he’ll announce “shortly” the next steps of expanding eligibility for the coronavirus vaccine in Maryland, as the state expects supplies to increase. During a visit to a vaccine clinic in Prince George’s County, the Republican governor said White House officials just told governors to expect a boost in vaccine doses starting March 29, Pamela Wood and Donovan Conaway of the Sun reports.
