This story was updated at 11:39 a.m. on March 11, 2021, to include additional details from a spokesman for Gov. Larry Hogan.
Montgomery County officials will have to reissue executive orders regarding COVID-19 and reopening restrictions under a change made in Gov. Larry Hogan’s recent executive order.
County officials spent Wednesday trying to determine what authority they have after Hogan announced Tuesday that the state will loosen restrictions on restaurants and other businesses, starting Friday.
In the past, jurisdictions could individually determine what restrictions would be in place and how to reopen, if they wanted to proceed more slowly than the rest of the state. A reference in the new order Hogan issued Tuesday appears to strike that type of local control, though Hogan and other state officials say local governments will still have the same authority.
