Bilal Ali

In the legislature

Ali was sworn in on February 3, 2017, and assigned to the House Ways and Means committee. He was a member of the Baltimore City Delegation and the Legislative Black Caucus of Maryland.

In January 2018 Ali introduced a bill entitled the "Jared Kushner Act" to prohibit the issuing of civil arrest warrants for tenants being sued for less than $5,000 in unpaid rent. This proposal followed a report the previous year that Kushner's apartment management company was Maryland's most aggressive landlord in obtaining civil arrest warrants.

In February 2018 Ali proposed disbanding and reconstituting the Baltimore Police Department in the wake of a police corruption trial. The Baltimore Sun reported that in reaction to this Sen. Joan Carter Conway questioned Ali's understanding of the police department.
