Will Delegate Anne Kaiser Stop Warning Signs From Being Posted on Artificial Turf?

Currently, House Bill 883 is being held up in a subcommittee chaired by Montgomery County Delegate Anne Kaiser.  HB 883 would simply put the following sign on artificial turf fields in Maryland.  The cautions on the sign are based on CDC guidelines.

We know that the crumb rubber used in artificial turf football fields gets all over the players and all over anything on the field, including plates and drink containers.

We also know that Delegate Anne Kaiser is concerned about her own safety when using artificial turf fields.  Listen to her question at the March 11, 2016, hearing on HB 883 in the video below.

She cares about her own safety, now to find out if she cares about the safety of Maryland children who also use artificial turf fields.  Will she let HB 883 out of her committee or will she kill the bill?
