HB 1381 Maryland House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

House of Delegates - Renaming

HB 1381 proposes a constitutional amendment to rename Maryland's House of Delegates to the House of Representatives throughout the state constitution. The bill would update all references to "House of Delegates" to "House of Representatives" in constitutional sections covering voting rights (Article I), executive powers (Article II), legislative structure (Article III), judicial matters (Article IV), treasury (Article VI), and Baltimore city governance (Article XI). This is a purely procedural name change with no new policies or direct impact on citizens or groups. The amendment would make Maryland's legislative body name consistent with common usage in other states.
