Welcome to the web site of the Maryland General Assembly. With a couple clicks, you can find everything you need to know about the most representative branch of our state government -- the Legislature.

We invite you to get to know us -- all 47 Senators and 141 Delegates.

You can determine which legislative district you live in and who represents you just by using your zip code or address.

You can determine which members sponsored any bill and what it is about, obtain background information and analyses, and see the actions we took during the Session.

Whatever your issue -- adoption, gambling, taxes, or zoning -- a world of information is here, and during the legislative session from January through April, it is updated regularly to reflect each day's action. During the Interim (May through December), you can find committee meeting schedules, bill texts, and information from past sessions. It is all free and right at your fingertips.

Should you want to closely track legislative action on a bill as it actually happens on the Senate or House floor, but are unable to be in Annapolis while legislation is being considered you can use the free "up to the minute" service. You can also listen to live or recorded floor and committee sessions of the Senate or the House of Delegates.

As the presiding officers of the Maryland General Assembly, we want you to know that we really want your input into the many critical issues before the Legislature. The legislature is the representative body of the people of Maryland and it works best when constituents contribute to the process. The pending legislation before us can affect our lives as Maryland citizens for many years to come. We hope you enjoy visiting this site and learning about the General Assembly, and we look forward to hearing from you soon.
