A potential ban on trans fats in restaurants is closer to study in Maryland. The House of Delegates has agreed to a preliminary version of a bill that calls for an examination of whether the artery-clogging fats should be banned in restaurants.

The Restaurant Association of Maryland supports the study plan.

ABC 7 News myTAKE - What's Your Opinion?Montgomery County (web|news) has already started phasing in a trans-fat ban in restaurants, and a similar proposal has been made in Baltimore. Philadelphia and New York also ban trans fats in restaurants, but so far no states have banned them.

Current Maryland law doesn't specifically address trans fats. The bill would set up a task force to make recommendations on a potential ban by the end of 2009.
