ANNAPOLIS (March 30, 2021) Maryland legislators have introduced a bill that would expand prohibitions and penalties in an effort to prevent an unsupervised minor from accessing a firearm.
HB0200 and its cross-file, SB0479, with sponsors Del. Dana Stein, D-Baltimore County, Del. J. Sandy Bartlett, D-Anne Arundel and Sen. William C. Smith Jr., D-Montgomery, is titled Jaelynn s Law.
Gun violence has been brought to the forefront of the national conversation once again after the recent mass shootings in Atlanta and Boulder, Colorado.
The bill is named after 16-year-old Jaelynn Rose Willey, who was killed in a shooting at Great Mills High School in St. Mary s County in 2018.
