The Maryland Chamber works to create a competitive business climate in Maryland that encourages job growth and investment, limits workplace regulation and ensures a competitive and fair tax structure.
We support incentives to encourage more economic development, tourism, and research and development in Maryland in order to create and retain more high paying jobs for our citizens. We urge the General Assembly to avoid over-regulating the marketplace or the workplace, and to balance the needs and obligations of employers and employees in enacting workplace-related laws.
