The Maryland Retired School Personnel Association’s Legislative Committee, composed of members from local associations throughout the state, is looking out for your interests in Annapolis. We advocate on your behalf. Each year, the committee reviews our legislative goals. This year, those goals include:

• protecting well-earned pensions,

• enhancing health care,

• ensuring safety for seniors,

• supporting public education,

• promoting technological access for seniors,

• defending the right to vote,

• safeguarding consumer rights,

• helping seniors age in place, and

• addressing the rising cost of long-term care.

The Legislative Committee monitors bills introduced into the Maryland General Assembly and, during the legislative session, meets frequently to determine whether the Association should monitor, support, or oppose specific bills. Sometimes we write letters or testify in opposition or support of legislation and occasionally ask our members to contact their legislators in regard to a specific bill. We will keep you informed. Please contact us if you have any questions. ​ -- Tom Slater, Legislative Committee Chair. Contact @ tgslawslate@comcast.net
