FYI, All. The watering of the Maryland life jacket bill is described farther down. Just remember - There, but for massive good fortune, go yee.

They do a stewardess demo on life jackets every time the water taxi picks up a passenger. And then the oxygen mask falls out of the canopy. Thanks for info, Matt. "Further, she amended that it would be optional for those riding public transportation vehicles or 'water taxis' to wear lifejackets. In addition, she amended to require instructions and demonstrations on wearing the lifejackets by all of these public transportation vehicles."

Further, she amended that it would be optional for those riding public transportation vehicles or 'water taxis' to wear lifejackets. In addition, she amended to require instructions and demonstrations on wearing the lifejackets by all of these public transportation vehicles. The Coast Guard regulations already require the instructions and demonstrations on vessels with trips longer than 15 minutes - understanding that in some cases the water taxis stop every few minutes to pick up passengers. The most gratifying part of the day was having the Chairman joke about how much her phone had been ringing on this Bill. They heard us - congratulations!

In my days on the legislative commission of a large professional society, we called these "juice bills." The legislator introduces some bill that will stir controversy, hopefully between two groups that have lots of money. Then they sit back and watch the groups vie to contribute more money to influence the outcome. Then it turns out that the bill was never a serious effort after all. Amazing how that happens.
