The Education, Energy and the Environment Committee said it would hold two briefings at 1 p.m.: a Public Service Commission briefing on a report about data centers and power colocation, followed by a briefing from the Maryland Energy Administration and Department leadership on a commissioned report. The Judicial Proceedings Committee announced it would meet for 12 bill hearings at 1 p.m., to be followed by a voting session.

Senate Bill 318 was read by the clerk as “Senate bill 318, Senator Louis Young. Higher Education. Janet lehi Hoffman. Loan Assistance Repayment Program. Eligibility, Education, Energy, and the Environment.” The clerk did not read additional detail or place the bill for immediate debate; no committee referral or hearing date was stated on the floor record during the session.

The clerk then read three bond initiatives at the request of Senator West: “Genesee Valley Outdoor Learning Center” (budget and taxation), “Hereford High School electronic sign” (budget and taxation), and “Camp Hawk Talk” (budget and taxation). The clerk’s floor reading constituted the formal introduction of those senator-requested bond items; the record does not show floor debate or votes on the bond initiatives during this session.

Because the bill and bond initiatives were listed as introductions, formal action on them—such as committee referral, hearings, or votes—was not taken during this sitting. The clerk and presiding officer completed the introductions and moved to the next order of business.

The floor record lists Senator Louis Young as the sponsor of SB 318 and Senator West as the sponsor of the three bond initiatives; the clerk served as the officer who read the items aloud on the chamber floor.

A formal motion later in the day to adjourn the Senate until a pro forma session on Wednesday, Jan. 15 was made and entered on the record (see separate article for scheduling and the adjournment action).","On Jan. 14 the Senate of Maryland recorded the introduction of Senate Bill 318, a higher-education loan assistance repayment proposal, and three senator-requested bond initiatives that fund local capital projects; no floor debate or vote on the bill occurred during the session.","actionData","errors"]
