Editor’s note—In Complete Lawn Care, Inc., et al. v. Montgomery County, Md., (Cir. Ct. Montgomery Cty. Aug. 3, 2017) Nos. 427200V & 427253V, the court enjoined enforcement of 2015 L.M.C., ch. 46 (Bill 52-14) as it regards to use of pesticides on private property because it is preempted by, and in conflict with, the state pesticide law.
