Criminal Procedure - Verdict of Not Criminally Responsible - Eligibility for Evaluation for Discharge

Summary

The bill bars anyone who receives a not‑criminally‑responsible verdict for first‑degree or second‑degree murder from being discharged from the Maryland Department of Health until they have served the full maximum prison term for that murder. It applies only to commitments made after the law takes effect and requires the person to prove eligibility for release by a preponderance of the evidence.
