Gov. Lawrence J. Hogan Jr. (R) punctuated what he called “the most successful and bipartisan session since I became governor” by signing several dozen bills into law Tuesday.
One of the measures signed by Hogan and the legislature’s presiding officers seeks to bolster the delivery of mental-health services by requiring a call center to check in periodically with people who have opted into the 2-1-1 program and then offer to connect them with a mental health provider.
The measure was named for Thomas Bloom Raskin, the late son of U.S. Rep. Jamie B. Raskin (D-Md.) who took his own life on New Year’s Eve.
