What are the next steps for creating the regulations?
Updated draft regulations are now available (Updated 7/9/2024). These are for discussion purposes only and are not officially adopted or proposed regulations. You are encouraged to send comments about the draft regulations to FAMLI.policy@maryland.gov by July 24, 2024. This version of the draft regulations incorporates comments from constituents received over the past year.
The FAMLI Division will announce when it intends to submit regulations to the Maryland Register. At that point, the formal review process will begin, including a public comment period.
How did the FAMLI Division develop the draft regulations?
Since June 2023, the Division has hosted a robust informal regulatory engagement process. This process included:
- Eight virtual meetings to hear directly from members of the public through prepared comments, as well as live questions and answers
- Sharing discussion documents on the Division’s most pressing questions on a number of important topics, including: private plans, self-employed individuals, contributions, dispute resolution, and claims.
- Distributing draft outlines based on public feedback.
- Publishing draft regulations for comment.
