Vehicle Laws - Causing Serious Injury or Death of Vulnerable Individual

Summary

The Senate bill changes Maryland law so that a person riding a motorcycle is no longer classified as a vulnerable individual under the statute that makes it a crime to cause serious injury or death while operating a vehicle in violation of traffic rules. The amendment leaves pedestrians, cyclists, scooter riders and others in the vulnerable category, and retains penalties such as fines, license suspension, safety courses and community service for violations. The change narrows the scope of the vulnerable‑individual protection.
