Maryland lawmakers appear ready to act quickly on two high-profile issues — paid sick leave and medical marijuana — in the legislative session that begins next week. They'll also respond to the federal tax overhaul set to have a major impact on Maryland. Ripple effects from Washington on health care will be a major focus as well. "It's going to be a busy session, and a lot of it centers around what takes place at the federal level," Democratic House Speaker Michael Busch said. As the General Assembly convenes its annual 90-day session Wednesday, the majority Democrats are expected to make a priority of overriding Republican Gov. Larry Hogan's veto of paid sick leave for businesses with 15 or more employees.
