Statute of Limitations - Civil Suits to Enforce Local Consumer Protection Codes

Summary

HB 1105 changes Maryland law so that a civil suit or prosecution enforcing a local consumer protection code—when equitable relief, a fine, or a penalty is available—must be started within three years after the violation is known or should have been known. The change applies to any local authority or private party seeking enforcement of such codes. It gives consumers and officials more time to act on violations.
