The DREAM Act was enacted by the Maryland General Assembly and signed by Governor Martin OâMalley on May 10, 2011. The law creates a new taxpayer-subsidized public benefit â the ability to pay reduced tuition rates at Maryland community colleges and public higher education institutions â for certain eligible illegal aliens. The petition drive was perhaps the most successful in Maryland history. It collected nearly twice the amount of signatures required by law to put the new benefit to voters in a referendum.The chairman of MDPetitions.com is Maryland Assembly Delegate Neil Parrott of Washington County; Delegate Patrick McDonough of Baltimore and Harford Counties is its honorary chairman.
