AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE UNION’S 2015 Ratings of Maryland

Dear Fellow Conservatives,

I am pleased to present the American Conservative Union Foundation’s ratings for the 2015 meeting of the Maryland General Assembly. Like our Congressional Ratings, our State Ratings reflect how elected officials view the role of government in an individual's life. The Maryland legislators with the strongest scores voted most consistently with the ideals articulated in the US Constitution: limited and transparent government, individual rights, personal responsibility, and a healthy culture.

The 2014 election completed a political transformation that began in 2010 and resulted in voters of almost half the states, 23 in all, entrusting Republicans with the governorships as well as control of both chambers in the respective state, the biggest sweep since the first half of the 20th Century.

By examining all our State Ratings (which cover a wide variety of issues) we can see which states have best used their Republican majorities to apply conservative principles, how others have struggled, and in yet other states, how conservatives have stood up against liberal majorities. I know that this guide will provide you with the most comprehensive evaluative tool to learn how your legislators measure up.

Sincerely,

Matt SchlappChairmanAmerican Conservative Union

ACU FOUNDATION BOARD MEMBERS

SELECTING THE VOTES

ACU researched and selected a range of bills before the Maryland General Assembly that determine a member’s adherence to conservative principles. We selected bills that focus on Ronald Reagan’s philosophy of the “three-legged stool”: 1) fiscal and economic: taxes, budgets, regulation, spending, healthcare, and property; 2) social and cultural: 2nd amendment, religion, life, welfare, and education; and 3) government integrity: voting, individual liberty, privacy, and transparency. This wide range of issues are designed to give citizens an accurate assessment that conveys which of Maryland’s elected leaders best defend the principles of a free society: Life, Liberty and Property.

1. SB 122 Milk Regulations. This bill makes a number of reforms to the regulation of milk products, including the repeal of the limitation on the number of milk processors and limiting the number of cows or goats allowed in a herd on a dairy farm. ACU supports regulatory reform and supported this bill. The Senate passed the bill on February 19, 2015 by a vote of 46-0.

2. SB 190 Hotel and Motel Sales Taxes. This bill requires online travel services to pay a sales or use tax based on the full retail rate of the room for a hotel or motel rather than the discounted rate the travel service actually pays.

3. HB 360 Civil Asset Forfeiture. This bill requires the state prove by a preponderance of evidence that property owners knew their property was used for a crime before any property is forfeited to the police.

The Senate passed the bill on March 29, 2015 by a vote of 46-1.

4. SB 409 Hydraulic Fracturing. This bill bans hydraulic fracturing in the state of Maryland for two years. ACU supports all forms of energy, opposes this government intervention and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on March 30, 2015 by a vote of 45-2.

5. SJ 2 Free Speech.
