Bill > SB160

This bill requires licensed firearms dealers in Maryland to notify the Secretary of State Police within 24 hours of discovering that certain security features, such as video surveillance equipment, entry prevention measures on doors and windows, continuously monitored burglary alarm systems, or physical barriers against vehicle breaches, have been compromised, or if there has been a burglary, attempted burglary, robbery, or theft involving a firearm or ammunition at their premises. This notification requirement is in addition to any reports made to local law enforcement or federal agencies like the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and violations can result in civil penalties ranging from $250 for a first offense to $1,000 for subsequent offenses, with potential license suspension or revocation for knowing and willful violations.
