Public Service Commission adopts final rule on "green products" advertising
Summary
The Maryland Public Service Commission voted to finally adopt revised COMAR language on advertising and solicitations for green products (docket RM 84), with unanimous commissioner approval and subject to non‑substantive COMAR drafting changes.
The Maryland Public Service Commission voted to finally adopt revised language in the Code of Maryland Regulations governing advertising and solicitations for green products, the commission said during a public meeting on docket RM 84. The revised regulation was published in the Maryland Register on 08/22/2025 and adopted "subject to the non substantive changes necessary to conform to Comar drafting requirements," the mover said.
A staff member opened the record for RM 84 and said, "we're on the record in, RM 84, the green products offering. And so we've not received any, comments on the draft regulations," before moving to adopt the filing as published. Commissioners voted unanimously to approve the motion: Commissioner McLean, Commissioner Linton, Commissioner Suchman and Commissioner Barbet each recorded "aye." The commission then adjourned.
The adopted language amends COMAR 20.53.07.07 (Advertising and solicitations), according to the motion and the Maryland Register notice. Commissioners specified that the adoption is final but conditioned on minor, non‑substantive editorial changes to align the text with COMAR drafting conventions.
No public comments were recorded on the draft regulation during the meeting, and the transcript does not show a second to the motion or the mover's name beyond the staff member who presented the item. The transcript also does not record any amendments or dissent. The adoption completes the rulemaking record for docket RM 84 as described in the Maryland Register entry dated 08/22/2025.
The commission did not provide a meeting date in the transcript excerpt; the regulation's publication date in the Maryland Register is 08/22/2025. The commission adjourned immediately after the vote.
