There is good news on the prescription front for retirees. There is a bipartisan bill sponsored by eight democrats and seven republicans, SB0578. Senator Klalusmeier has introduced the bill and it would require the state to continue the prescription benefits for Maryland employees hired prior to July 1, 2011. This is an important moment to write to our legislators and ask them to support SB0578.
Here is the link to SB0578
