Maryland legislators voted January 30th to override Gov. Larry Hogan’s (R) veto of a 2019 bill that repealed the state’s Handgun Permit Review Board.
The Maryland General Assembly voted 30-16 in the Senate and 89-49 in the House of Delegates to override the governor’s veto of SB1000/HB1343. In Maryland, a three-fifths vote (29 in the Senate, 85 in the House) is required to override a veto.
The Handgun Permit Review Board was created in 1972 and is comprised of five members selected by the governor. It allowed individuals who were denied a concealed-carry permit to file an appeal.
