MA and MD are two different states (Massachusetts and Maryland). The case law that set the precedence in MD did not 'pass'. It was a decision that laid down new definitions for how courts should handle cases of "pit bull" bites and attacks, being that such cases are now considered strict liability cases and owners of such dogs and landlords of such owners understand the consequences of their actions for harboring a 'dangerous animal'. This is not legislation and thus there was no vote.
