    Reminder: Witness Signup is available TODAY only, February 13th until 3:00 PM for:

    * HB 307 – Firearm Safety – Storage Requirements and Youth Suicide Prevention (Jaelynn’s Law), and

    * HB 481 – Criminal Law – Wearing, Carrying, or Transporting a Handgun – Penalty


    These bills will be heard by the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, February 15th.

    The Maryland General Assembly allows the public to submit their favorable or unfavorable opinions as part of the hearing. The public can:
    • Submit written testimony,
    • Appear for oral testimony (in-person or by Zoom),
    • Submit written testimony and appear for oral testimony, or
    • Voice a favorable or unfavorable opinion without testimony.
    In order for you to submit an opinion or testimony on any proposed legislation, including this Bill, you must first set up a MYMGA account. To set up an account, go to the MGA website here:


    Then, click on the "MYMGA" button on the upper right corner of the page. Then follow the steps to set up your account.

    The period for requesting in-person and the submittal of written testimony is from today 8:00 AM until 3:00 PM. If by 3:00 PM you have not indicated a favorable or unfavorable opinion, submitted written testimony, or requested to appear in person for live testimony we will be out of luck. If you want to make your voice heard please set up your MYMGA account and speak your opinion ASAP.

    Remember: You do not have to sign up for oral or written testimony to voice your opinion. You can also simply use your MYMGA account simply vote FAVORABLE or UNFAVORABLE depending on the bill.

    If you have already created an account and are logged in this Witness Signup link will jump right to witness sign-up.

    Please visit Maryland Shall Issue Testimony Tips page if you need more information on signing up, or the main page Maryland Shall Issue for the bill tracker.

    Thank you to everyone that submitted or registered for testimony on these two bills today, as well as to those that simply voiced "unfavorable".

    For those that signed up to testify in person or remotely, MSI has great information to help you prepare here:


    And there's a great post about testimony on MDS here:
