Resolution to Expel Delegate Christopher Eric Bouchat From the House of Delegates of Maryland
This bill proposes to expel Delegate Christopher Eric Bouchat from the Maryland House of Delegates due to his failure to attend committee meetings or vote on legislation since February 2026. The resolution cites his absence from required legislative duties and his stated priority of personal business over public service as grounds for removal under state constitutional rules. If passed, the measure would trigger a vacancy in District 5, allowing the Governor to appoint a replacement to represent Carroll and Frederick Counties.
