Here's the latest from Marine Trades Association of Maryland:
The bill that proposes a cap in the boat excise tax has now been crossfiled in the House. Capping the excise tax will lead to an increase in boat registrations, more jobs and more spending in the marine industry.
See The Capital's news article on the excise tax cap.
