Notes: "Although the court [Maryland Court of Appeals] reconsidered its decision and limited its application to purebred pit bulls, the ruling drew criticism from dog owners, animal advocacy groups, landlords, and insurers as new reports emerged relating to landlords banning pit bulls and animal shelters preparing for an influx of pit bulls. In response, the General Assembly formed the Task Force to Study the Court Decision Regarding Pit Bulls. The task force did not propose its own bill, but legislators introduced several different bills during the Second Special Session of 2012 and the 2013 regular session. However, the General Assembly has been unable to reach a consensus"--p. iii.
