Previous Week- Recap - Outcomes of Notable Hearings

HB 251/SB 402: Education - Family Life and Human Sexuality Curriculum - Boundaries and Consent 

HB 251 and SB 402 require that each county Board of Education provides age appropriate instruction on the meaning of "consent" and respect for personal boundaries as part of the Family Life and Human Sexuality curriculum in every grade where the Family Life curriculum is taught. 

Status: HB 251 Post Hearing, Awaiting Report in W&M; SB 402 Post Hearing, Awaiting Report in EHEA

Position:  The Arc Maryland supports this bill and has provided written testimony as a proactive approach to minimizing sexual assaults by training students and teaching them on the meaning of consent as well as developing awareness on how to appropriately interact with others, especially when it comes to consent in human sexuality and boundaries. 

HB 462 :  Baltimore City Board of School Commissioners - Public School System - Reports 

HB 462 requires the Baltimore City Board of School Commissioners to report certain information, including number of vulnerable students, relating to the Baltimore City Public School System to the Mayor of Baltimore City, the City Council of Baltimore, and the Baltimore City Delegation to the General Assembly. 

Status: Post Hearing, Awaiting Report from W&M

Position:  The Arc Maryland s upports this bill with amendments and has provided written testimony to ensure Baltimore City is reporting on students with the disabilities in each public school and tracking Transition Youth students with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities so that the school system can support the families to have a seamless transition from school to community.  

HB 503 : State Department of Education - Translation Grant Program - Established

HB 503 establishes  the Translation Grant Program in the State Department of Education to provide grants to public schools that are experiencing a significant number of requests to translate educational materials into a student's or parent's native language. 

Status:  Post Hearing, Awaiting Report from W&M

Position:  The Arc Maryland supports this bill in collaboration with Education Advocacy Coalition and has provided written testimony for this bill because it creates a program to provide grants to public schools that receive a significant number of requests to translate educational materials into a student's or parent's native language, including textbooks, workbooks, handouts, electronic academic materials, any written communications to parents or students, and any on-site or over the phone interpretation services.  
 
HB 814 / SB 403:Worker's Compensation- Students in Unpaid Work-Based Learning Experiences
 
HB 814/SB403 Authorizes all county boards of education, rather than only certain county boards of education, to waive the requirement that a participating employer reimburse the county for the cost of the premium for workers' compensation coverage provided to students placed in unpaid work-based learning experiences or pay a certain fee. 
 
Status: Hearing on 2/20 at 1 p.m. in House EM, Hearing on 2/13 at 1 p.m. in Senate FIN

Position: The Arc Maryland Supports this bill.  There are already a few counties that authorize their boards of education to waive the requirement of participating employers.  In 2012 similar legislation passed in Howard County.  Technically, if work goals are included in a student's IEP and Transition Plan, the activities of the student to meet those goals would be covered under the insurance policy of the school, but the way the law is currently written, the lines of responsibility for student coverage are blurry.  We believe this bill will help to reduce barriers to a full compliment of options in unpaid work experiences for transitioning youth.
 
HB 580 /SB 250: Landlord and Tenant- Prohibited Lease Provisions- Late fees for Tenants Receiving Government Benefits.

HB 580/SB 250 would prohibit a landlord from including a certain provision in a residential lease that provides for a penalty for the late payment of rent beginning on the 5th of the month if the tenant receives a government benefit under certain circumstances.
 
Status: Hearing in the House on 2/13 at 1 p.m. in E&T

Position: The Arc Maryland supports this bill as many individuals with I/DD receive and rely on SSI/SSDI and other government benefits to pay rent.  In some documented cases, late fees and defense costs have been severe, impacting housing stability.
 
HB 786 / SB 539: Correctional Services- Restrictive Housing- Limitations

HB 786 /SB 539  Restricts to 15 consecutive days or a total of 90 days that an inmate may be placed in restrictive housing in a 1-year period and prohibits a certain vulnerable inmate (an inmate with Developmental Disabilities) from placement in restrictive housing under certain circumstances; etc.  
 
Status: Hearing in the House on 2/15 at 1 p.m. in JUD and Hearing in the Senate on 2/13 at 1 p.m. in JPR

Position: The Arc Maryland supports HB786/ SB539. According to a recent investigative report completed by Disability Rights Maryland: Beyond Incarceration:  Lock Down for Persons with Disabilities, there is widespread harm and misuse of segregation, and legal violations in our prison system.  We seek reform including safer alternatives to segregation and other punitive measures. 
  
 
This Week's Top 3 Bills to Watch - 
Children's Issues
HB 493 / SB 638 :  Teachers and Teacher Preparation Programs - Research-Based Reading Instruction 

Bills HB 493 and SB 638 require the Professional Standards and Teacher Education Board to require a candidate for a certificate to teach certain students to pass a test of research-based reading instruction.

Status: HB 493 Hearing , SB 638 Hearing 2/28 at 1 pm in EHEA

Position: The Arc Maryland supports this bill as it sets  standards for the delivery of research-based reading instruction by teacher preparation programs in the State. There is a great need for teachers who have both the knowledge and the ability to teach students with neurodiversity.

HB 1565 / SB 1060 :  Nonpublic Elementary and Secondary Schools - Discrimination - Prohibition

Bills HB 1565 and SB 1060 prohibit a nonpublic elementary or secondary school that receives State funds from refusing enrollment of, expelling, withholding privileges from, or otherwise discriminating against any student or prospective student because of certain factors; making certain provisions of law prohibiting discrimination in employment applicable to certain schools that receive State funds; requiring a nonpublic school that is found to have engaged in or be engaging in a certain discriminatory act to repay to the General Fund all State funds.

Status: HB 1565 Hearing 3/1 at 1 pm in W&M, SB 1060 Hearing 2/21 at 1 pm in JPR

Position: The Arc Maryland supports this bill in collaboration with the Education Advocacy Coalition and will be submitting written testimony.  This bill p rohibits a nonpublic elementary or secondary school that receives state funds from discriminating against any student or prospective student based on race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability.   If Maryland is going to use state funds to provide scholarships for students to attend private schools, the rights must be protected.

HB 910/SB 548: Education - Students With Reading Difficulties - Screenings and Interventions

Bills HB 910 and SB 548 r equire that certain county boards of education ensure that a certain student is screened to identify if the student is at risk for reading difficulties beginning with the 2019-2020 school year.

Status: HB 910 Hearing 2/22 at 1 pm in W&M, SB 548 Hearing 2/21 at 1 pm in EHEA

Position: The Arc Maryland supports this bill with amendments in collaboration with the Education Advocacy Coalition and will submit written testimony.  Reading  is critical to the academic, economic, and social success of children but many children, including children with disabilities complete school without achieving basic literacy.

  

This Week's Top 3 Bills to Watch-
Adults (TY), Providers, and Global Issues
  
HB 814 / SB 403: Worker's Compensation- Students in Unpaid Work-Based Learning Experiences
 
Authorizing all county boards of education, rather than only certain county boards of education, to waive the requirement that a participating employer reimburse the county for the cost of the premium for workers' compensation coverage provided to students placed in unpaid work-based learning experiences or pay a certain fee.  

Status: Hearing on 2/20 at 1 p.m. in House EM, (Hearing also occurred on 2/13 at 1 p.m. in Senate FIN)

Positions:  The Arc Maryland Supports this bill.  There are already a few counties that authorize their boards of education to waive the requirement of participating employers.  In 2012 similar legislation passed in Howard County.  We believe this will help to reduce barriers to unpaid work experiences for transitioning youth.
 
HB 287/ SB 461: Selling or Providing Alcoholic Beverages to Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities and Others- Repeal of Prohibition

The bill repeals provisions of law in Allegany, Carroll, Charles, Harford, Kent, Montgomery, Queen Anne's, and Washington counties that prohibit a license holder or an employee from knowingly selling or providing an alcoholic beverage to an individual with an intellectual disability or to an individual if a family member or guardian has given written notice to the license holder or employee under certain circumstances.

Status: Hearing in the House on 2/23 at 1 p.m. in ECM and Hearing in the Senate on 2/23 at 1 p.m. in EHEA

Position:  The Arc Maryland Supports this bill.  Refusing to serve a person on the basis of disability or the assumption of a disability is discriminatory.
 

HB782 / SB 550: Maryland Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Program - Death of a Designated Beneficiary  

This bill authorizes money and assets in an ABLE account to be transferred, on the death of a designated beneficiary, to a certain estate or a certain ABLE account for an eligible individual, unless prohibited by federal law; and prohibits the State, unless required by federal law, from seeking payment from an ABLE account or its proceeds for certain medical benefits paid for the designated beneficiary (elimination of the claw-back provision).

Status: Hearing on 2/21 at 1 p.m. in House HGO, Hearing on 2/21 at 1 p.m. in Senate B&T

Position:  The Arc Maryland supports this bill as the "claw back" provision is seen as a barrier for full participation in the ABLE program for self-advocates and their families.


Minimum Wage Bills- Details of Each Bill and Hearing Dates

HB 664 / SB 543:  Labor and Employment- Payment of the Minimum Wage Required ("Fight for 15")
 
HB 664/SB 543 proposes to increase the state minimum wage incrementally to $15 per hour by July 1, 2023, and then by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) every year beginning July 1, 2024.  The bill includes a provision to increase DD funding for Community Providers each year to address Direct Care Provider wages with related expenses and COLA.  Funding would be increased by 7% in FY20, followed by 5.5% in each of the years from FY21 to FY24.  This provision is designed to keep the wage factor in the DD rate at a certain percentage above minimum wage as the state minimum wage increases. 

Status: Hearing on 2/27 at 1 p.m. in House EM, Hearing on 3/8 at 1 p.m. in Senate FIN

Position: The Arc Maryland believes that Direct Support Professionals perform a critical role in our system of supports in Maryland and that one way we address the Direct Care crisis is through increasing the DD funded wage factor in the DDA rates.  This bill includes a mandate for increases in DD funding.

SB 368: Labor and Employment- State Minimum Wage Rate- Increase

SB 368 Increases the State minimum wage rate based on the annual growth in the Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers for the Washington-Baltimore metropolitan area, or a certain successor index and requires the Commissioner of Labor and Industry, beginning at a certain time, to annually determine and announce the growth in the Consumer Price Index and the new State minimum wage rate.
 
Hearing 3/8 at 1 pm in Senate FIN

Position: The Arc Maryland along with our Coalition partners would support that Direct Support Professionals should earn more and therefore, an increase in the state minimum wage would help the current Direct Support Professional Crisis.  That said, there is no provision in this bill to ensure that DD funding increases to the extent that it will keep the DD Wage factor in rates a certain percentage above minimum wage.   We will likely "Support with amendments" 
 
SB1019: Labor and Employment - State Minimum Wage Rate - Increase 
Specifying the State minimum wage rate that is in effect for certain time periods for certain employers, including midsized and small employers; increasing, except under certain circumstances, the State minimum wage rate in effect for certain periods of time based on certain calculations; requiring the Commissioner of Labor and Industry, beginning at a certain time, to annually determine and announce the growth in the Consumer Price Index, if any, and the new State minimum wage rate under a certain provision of the Act; etc.

Hearing 3/8 at 1 pm in Senate FIN

Position:  Same as SB368.  The Arc Maryland along with our Coalition partners would support that Direct Support Professionals should earn more and therefore, an increase in the state minimum wage would help the current Direct Support Professional Crisis.  That said, there is no provision in this bill to ensure that DD funding increases to the extent that it will keep the DD Wage factor in rates a certain percentage above minimum wage.   We will likely "Support with amendments"

Federal Legislative Activity

In a 225-192 vote last Thursday, the House of Representatives passed H.R.620; a bill that makes it harder for disabled persons to sue for , in an effort to prevent what was described as "nuisance" lawsuits against business owners.

Many disability and civil rights groups, including The Arc National, fear that the legislation will weaken incentives for businesses to comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990.   The ADA mandates equal access to public accommodations for people with disabilities. The bill requires that those individuals who feel that a business is violating the ADA first give a business 60 days to acknowledge and devise a plan to fix the problem and then another 120 days to implement changes. Click here to see The Arc US response to the passage of H.R. 620
