A policy note is developed by agencies to provide information on the impact of a proposed policy. It implies the agencies stance as well. There will be three policy notes assigned, one in support, one in opposition and one with no position. The policy note will review House or Senate bills previously or currently being considered by the Maryland General assembly. The policy note should be no more than 5 pages and will have the following format.
The information provided in the policy note is to be objective, do not include personal opinions. For sample policy notes please visit: http://dls.maryland.gov/about-us/offices/fiscal-and-policy-notes.
