City of Frederick - Assignment of Offenders to Road Work - Repeal

This bill repeals a specific Maryland law that allowed judges in Frederick to order people convicted of local violations to work on public roads. By removing this provision, the legislation ends the practice of assigning offenders to road labor in the City of Frederick and Frederick County. The change also eliminates the related rules regarding how these workers must be guarded by local officials. Effective October 1, 2024, this update means courts can no longer use road work as a penalty for municipal law violations in this area.
