Bill Summary

Prohibiting, for a certain period of time, a person from driving a motor vehicle in violation of certain provisions of the Maryland Vehicle Law on private roadways in a residential community in Baltimore County; and authorizing, for a certain period of time, a police officer to enforce the Maryland Vehicle Law on private roadways in a certain residential community in Baltimore County.

AI Summary

This bill amends Maryland's transportation laws to temporarily allow police officers in Baltimore County to enforce vehicle laws on a specific private roadway within the Queen Anne Village Community in Owings Mills. From October 1, 2025, to July 1, 2028, law enforcement will be permitted to enforce Maryland Vehicle Law on this private roadway, which is used for vehicular traffic by community residents. The bill prohibits drivers from violating vehicle law provisions on this specific private roadway during the same period. Additionally, the Baltimore County Police Department is required to report to the Baltimore County Delegation by September 1, 2028, about the implementation of this act and whether it has improved compliance with vehicle laws in the Queen Anne Village community. The bill is set to automatically expire on September 30, 2028, effectively making it a three-year pilot program to test enhanced law enforcement on this private roadway. This legislation appears to be a targeted approach to address potential traffic or safety concerns in a specific residential community.
