[CPEO-MEF] Maryland noise warning proposal

Senator Dyson For the second time this year, I have introduced a bill 
that I believe will be greatly beneficial to the Patuxent River Naval 
Air Station as well as other military installations in the State of 
Maryland.

This legislation, Senate Bill 253, will add a small paragraph to the 
Maryland real estate contract that simply states that a real estate 
agent must inform a prospective homebuyer that their property is located 
near a military installation that conducts flight operations, munitions 
testing, or military operations that may result in high noise levels.

Certainly, homebuyers in Southern Maryland know there is a major base 
that conducts numerous flight missions throughout the year. Same as in 
Indian Head. They are fully aware of this because the Southern Maryland 
real estate contracts has contained this clause for years. This bill 
passed through the Senate with a strong vote last year, but did not pass 
the House Environmental Matters Committee. However, Delegate John 
Bohanan has filed the same bill in the House so I anticipate a better 
outcome.
