In one of his first acts after taking office Wednesday, Republican Gov. Larry Hogan withdrew a handful of regulations proposed in the final weeks of the previous Democratic administration.
One hotly contested proposal would have curbed Eastern Shore farmers' use of poultry manure on their fields. Another of the blocked regulations would have clamped down on smog-forming air pollution from coal-burning power plants.
Three other regulations dealt with medical care, but the new administration didn't provide more detail.
Hogan halted publication of the five regulations set to appear in the Maryland Register on Friday, preventing them from taking effect, said Erin Montgomery, the new governor's press secretary.
