Maryland County Tables Bill Banning Gas-Powered Leaf Blowers
March 30, 2023
Lawmakers in Montgomery County, Md., have tabled a bill that would have banned gas-powered leaf blowers, according to a March 21 report from Fox 5.
The proposed law would include a rebate for consumers to trade in their gas-powered leaf blowers for electric ones. Fines for breaking the proposed law would begin at $500 for the first offense.
The report stated one local landscaping company had launched an "all-electric service" in anticipation of the ban, calling it a "major expense."
