Approved by the Governor - Chapter 733

May 26, 2026

Summary

The law changes Maryland’s juvenile‑record confidentiality rules so three Baltimore City mayoral offices can access a child’s police or court file when they are providing a program or treatment plan for that child. The offices must keep the information confidential, may only use it for the specified purpose, and are liable for any unauthorized release. The bill also clarifies existing access rules for other state agencies and sets an October 1, 2026 effective date.
