Heard From the Hill

NPMA, MSPCA, and MD SPAR Lucas Carnohan are working hard with industry partners to oppose SB 268, as this legislation would transfer pesticide regulatory authority from the Department of Agriculture to the Department of Environment. There would be a large and concerning knowledge gap along with a plethora of unintended consequences if this authority were to be transferred. We are heavily engaged. Hearing on 2/2.
