2024 Maryland Legislation
The 2022 Flynn/Laird Act was a significant achievement however there is more work to be done. This year we hope to pass legislation that will close loopholes in the Flynn/Laird Act and require CSST sold or installed in Maryland to be compliant with LC1027.

Stricter Standards
In 2017 the International Code Council (ICC), Fire Service Membership Council (FSMC), National Association of State Fire Marshal's (NASFM) and the Lighting Protection Institute (LPI) all recommended more stringent criteria be used for CSST. They recommended adoption of LC1027. According to the National Weather Service a typical lightning flash is about 300 million Volts and about 30,000 Amps. |
