Bill Summary
Criminal Law - Unnatural or Perverted Sexual Practice - Repeal
AI Summary
This bill repeals the criminal law prohibiting "unnatural or perverted sexual practices" in Maryland. The bill removes references to "unnatural or perverted sexual practices" throughout the state's criminal and family law statutes, replacing it with language referring to "any other sexual conduct that is a crime." This change decriminalizes certain sexual acts that were previously considered "unnatural or perverted." The bill also includes provisions related to the expungement of records for convictions under the old law and the classification of certain offenses as Tier III sex offenses.
