Maryland HSA Government Practice Test

What is the name of the local legislature?

City Council Town Council County Council District Assembly

Correct Answer:

County Council

Explanation:

In Maryland, the legislative body for a county is called the County Council. This group passes countywide laws, adopts the budget, and oversees county agencies for all areas within the county. Cities and towns have their own separate legislative bodies—City Councils for cities and Town Councils for towns—so those names don’t apply to the county government. District Assembly isn’t a recognized term for Maryland local government, so it isn’t correct.
