Currently, when a bill is introduced to the Baltimore County Council, it must be voted on within 40 days or else it expires. This makes for what some say is a rushed process. This change to the county charter would extend the life of bills to 65 days, giving council members more time to consider bills and amendments — and giving the public more time to weigh in. This question, if adopted, also would remove a requirement that a bill can’t be voted on until at least 10 days after it has been introduced.
