Vehicle Laws – Causing Serious Injury or Death of Vulnerable Individual

Summary

The bill changes Maryland law by deleting motorcycles from the list of "vulnerable individuals" protected against serious injury or death caused by a motor vehicle violating traffic rules. As a result, drivers who harm a motorcyclist would not be charged under this specific provision, while pedestrians, cyclists, and other listed users remain protected. The change aims to narrow the scope of the existing vulnerable‑person statute.
