According to the Washington Post, the county passed the ban on July 1, and the measure is scheduled to take effect on Oct. 9. The plaintiffs claim the ban will have a dramatic and negative effect on their businesses. Montgomery County enacted a similar ban in 1999, which was later overturned by the Maryland Court of Appeals in a lawsuit by restaurant owners. For more information, visit
