USA TODAY NETWORK Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan wants state lawmakers to pass a $1 billion COVID-19 economic relief bill that includes stimulus payments for about 400,000 eligible residents of the state. The Republican said Monday that the bill, if passed, would provide a total of $267 million in stimulus money to individuals and families who qualified for the Earned Income Tax Credit in 2019 and 2020. Families would receive $750 and individuals would receive $450 under the "RELIEF Act," which Hogan will ask legislators to pass when they convene for the first time in 2021 on Wednesday. "I cannot imagine anything that could possibly be more important for the legislature to pass," Hogan said.
