Bill > HB212

This bill establishes a process for Maryland residents who own vehicles improperly registered in another state to comply with Maryland's vehicle laws. The Administration, which refers to the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA), will issue a warning to vehicle owners who are residents of Maryland but have not properly registered their vehicles in the state. If the owner fails to register the vehicle or provide proof that it's not required to be registered in Maryland within 60 days of the warning, the Administration will begin assessing a civil fine of $7 per day, up to a maximum of 60 days, or until the vehicle is properly registered or deemed exempt. If, after 120 days from the warning, the vehicle is still not properly registered or proven exempt, the vehicle may be immobilized through towing and impoundment or by booting, and the owner's driver's license or privilege to drive in Maryland may be suspended until compliance is achieved.
