AI Summary
This joint resolution states that the General Assembly of Maryland is joining other state legislative bodies, counties, and municipalities in adopting a "Back from the Brink" resolution, which aims to reduce the risk of nuclear weapons being used. The resolution also urges Maryland's representatives in the U.S. Congress to support a federal resolution that aligns with the goals of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, a treaty that makes nuclear weapons illegal for signatory nations.
