HB 929: Agriculture – Nuisance Insects

This Maryland law mandates the State Department of Agriculture to run a program using a specific biological pesticide to control black flies and other insects that merely annoy humans rather than threatening health. The program will operate on state-owned land, private property with owner consent, and local government land if the local area agrees to cover half of the project costs. Before any spraying occurs, the department must notify local media, government officials, emergency services, and riverkeepers, while also posting notices on social media. The legislation defines nuisance insects strictly as those that pester humans without posing a direct health risk to people, animals, or plants.

SB 155: Vehicle Laws - Noise Abatement Monitoring Systems - Pilot Program

This bill authorizes a pilot program in Anne Arundel, Montgomery, and Prince George's Counties to use automated noise monitoring systems to enforce laws against excessively loud vehicles. It allows these systems to issue citations for violations of maximum sound level limits and establishes the legal process for handling those citations, including how defendants can request a trial. The legislation also specifies how fines collected from these violations are distributed, permitting local governments to use the revenue to cover system costs and fund public safety initiatives. Additionally, it ensures that audio and visual recordings from these noise monitoring devices are admissible in court without needing extra authentication.
