This year the City Administration did pretty well in Annapolis - of the 11 cross-filed bills introduced at the administration's request, only one was withdrawn. Seven passed through both the House and Senate, one of which being the Foreign-Trade Zone bill.
This emergency bill brings Baltimore into compliance with the definition of Foreign Trade Zone of the US Department of Commerce. Foreign Trade Zones are like the duty-free shop at the airport, except for companies!
The Baltimore City Paper provides a full list of the eleven bills discussed at this year's session.
