In June 2003, the Task Force to Study Pinhole Leaks in Copper Plumbing was authorized (Chapter 476, Acts of 2003). The Task Force researched the extent, patterns, and trends of pinhole leakage in Maryland; investigated causes of pinhole leaks in copper plumbing; determined what effect pinhole leaks have on homeowner insurance coverage; and made recommendations to solve the problem of pinhole leaks.

In December 2004, the Task Force reported to the General Assembly. Authorization for the Task Force ended January 31, 2005.
