ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Lawmakers are proposing an assisted suicide bill once again.

On Friday, there was a hearing for the death with dignity bill in the senate.

The legislation would allow a terminally ill person with six months to live to request aid in dying medication under certain requirements.

Last year, a similar bill failed in the Senate. The House had already passed the measure.
