Enacted under Article II, Section 17(c) of the Maryland Constitution - Chapter 874
Summary
The Data Privacy Act prohibits companies from selling or sharing personal or sensitive data when they know the buyer will use it for immigration enforcement, and adds new safeguards for minors and targeted advertising. It also requires public‑record custodians and law‑enforcement data systems to block immigration‑related requests without a valid warrant and to report such requests to the legislature. The law aims to protect residents’ privacy and limit state resources from being used for federal immigration actions.
