Maryland has become the first state in the nation to approve legislation taxing Big Tech’s advertisement revenue, as the Democratic-controlled Legislature overrode Gov. Larry Hogan’s veto on the measure.
Following an 88–32 vote in the House of Delegates, the state Senate overrode the veto on Feb. 12 by a margin of 29–17.
