BALTIMORE — On Monday night, the Baltimore City Council voted 10-5 to move with the ban on gas-powered leaf blowers.
According to Baltimore City Councilman Ryan Dorsey, with the bill in place, the City and its contracts will no longer use gas-powered leaf blowers after December 15, 2024.
Baltimore isn't the first area in Maryland to impose this ban.
Annapolis' ban on gas-powered leaf blowers will begin on January 1, 2025, one of many noise laws that will go into effect going into the new year.

The bill will now head to the Mayor Brandon Scott's desk to sign.
