Four of my bills passed the House today.

Each of these bills will now get a hearing in the Senate, having crossed over from the House by the deadline.

A good reason to celebrate Crossover Day.

But also time to strategize how to get the four bills through the Senate.

My bill to provide care for people with crisis behavioral health needs by creating a competitive grant program for counties and Baltimore City passed, 133-5.

The comparable Senate bill has passed that body.

We need to amend that legislation the same way that mine was modified.

Two of my landlord-tenant bills passed, 105-32 and 90-48, on party line votes.

I need to make sure that the landlords do not work to kill the bills in the Senate, despite their passive position today.

At the public hearing, no one opposed my bill to provide the same penalties for the sale of electronic cigarettes to minors as we already do for the illegal sale of tobacco products.

The vote today was 96-41, again a party-line vote.

In the Senate, I will work with my allies on tobacco issues.
