ANNAPOLIS — The Maryland Senate approved a budget that would impose more than $70 million in fees and require state employees to contribute more into their pension plans to help close a $1.6 billion budget gap.

The Senate voted 37-10 on Tuesday night for the $34 billion budget, which differs slightly from the House of Delegates’ version.
