The Charles County Commissioners have established time guidelines in preparation of the County Commissioners’ Spring 2022 Local Legislative Package. Any citizen, group, or organization interested in submitting a legislative proposal or suggestion for revision or amendment to an existing local law must submit a written request to the Office of the County Attorney at KnottS@CharlesCountyMD.gov or to the address below by April 15, 2022:

2022 Spring Local Legislative Request
Office of the County Attorney
200 Baltimore Street
La Plata, MD 20646

All proposals will be published to BoardDocs and presented to the County Commissioners during a public hearing on Wednesday, May 4, 2022. Anyone submitting a proposal is asked to attend the public hearing to provide a brief synopsis of the proposal and answer any questions the Board members or public may have. If the hearing is to take place virtually, further instruction will be provided regarding virtual or call-in participation. All submitted proposals will be posted to the Charles County website along with additional information for those persons interested in providing comments.

Thereafter, all proposals will be compiled into a preliminary local legislative package and reviewed by the County Commissioners at a subsequent work session, where they will determine which of the proposals will be included in the County Commissioners’ Spring 2022 Local Legislative Package.
