Legislative Agenda

The Chamber takes an active role in advocating and responding to issues of importance to the economic health of our community to create a more business friendly environment for Montgomery County and the State of Maryland. In that spirit, the Chamber will evaluate legislation based on the 5 elements of a vibrant economy:
