Statute of Limitations - Prosecution or Enforcement of Local Consumer Protection Codes

Summary

The bill changes Maryland law so that actions to enforce local consumer protection codes must be started within three years after the local authority knew or should have known of a violation, up from the current one‑year limit. It covers any suit or prosecution seeking equitable relief, fines, or penalties under those codes. The longer period gives consumers and local governments more time to address violations.
