On March 26, 2014, the Maryland House Judiciary Committee held a hearing to review bills from the Senate side of the General Assembly. Included in the bills reviewed was Senator Jamie Raskin's Senate Bill 460 - Criminal Law - Person in Position of Authority. Senator Raskin appeared before the House committee to present his Senate version of this bill.
This hearing also permitted public comment on these bills. The purpose of the public comment was to speak to the House Committee about the differences between the Senate version and the House version of the bill. The House Committee hearings are videotaped.
Here is the March 26th video of the House Judiciary Committee hearing on Senate Bill 460.
