An update from MSPCA Vice-President, Samantha (Sam) Forrest 

The Department of Agriculture proposed a rule in the Maryland Register on 8/2/19, that would require pesticide applicators certified in the public health category (8) to follow notification requirements for pesticide sensitive persons registered with the Maryland Department of Agriculture.

According to the Maryland State Regulations Pertaining to the Pesticide Applicator’s Laws – the List of Pesticide Sensitive Individuals shall be distributed by the Department of Agriculture by February 15 of each year to licensees and permittees. The department will also distribute an updated list when determined necessary by the Department of Agriculture. There are 130 individuals in Maryland on the list, If you would like to obtain a copy please email Dennis Howard - Dennis.howard@maryland.gov.
