Annotated Code of Maryland

A bill is a proposal to change, repeal, or add to existing state law.

They are listed with the official title of a legislator rather than the Governor due to requirements in the Maryland Constitution.

[3] The legislative procedure, is divided into distinct stages: The Maryland General Assembly gradually recodified the state laws by repealing the versions organized into numbered articles in the black volumes and re-enacting new versions, which were organized into named articles and published in the red volumes.

[5][1] The purpose of this process was to reorganize the laws, rather than to change their content or meaning.

[6] Until the process was completed, the laws of the state of Maryland comprised both sets of volumes.
