ANNAPOLIS, MD  – The Maryland Pesticide Reporting and Information Workgroup will meet on Thursday, Sept. 26, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the Environmental Matters Committee Room in the House Office Building in Annapolis. The agenda will include presentations from Federal government representatives about existing pesticide laws, risk assessments and research. The primary charge of the work group (created during the 2013 legislative session) is to identify any data gaps in pesticide use and reporting that need to be filled and how best to fill them.
