Maryland HB91 prohibits neonicotinoid pesticides in certain agricultural uses and seeds, with temporary suspensions allowed under specific conditions.

Maryland HB91 prohibits the distribution, sale, or use of corn, soybean, or wheat seeds coated or treated with neonicotinoid pesticides, except under certain conditions. It also prohibits the use of neonicotinoid pesticides on outdoor ornamental plants and turf, with exceptions for environmental emergencies or significant pest risks. The Secretary of Agriculture can temporarily suspend these prohibitions if there is an insufficient supply of untreated seeds or if compliance would cause undue financial hardship, or if a pest presents a significant risk to the environment or crops.
