Baltimore City - Speed Monitoring Systems - Maximum Penalty Increase

SB 402 increases the maximum civil penalty for speed violations recorded by cameras in Baltimore City from $40 to $60 per offense. It directly affects drivers who exceed speed limits in Baltimore City and are caught by speed monitoring systems. The bill amends Maryland law to specify this higher penalty specifically for Baltimore City violations, while keeping the $40 limit for other areas. The change applies to civil penalties assessed without an officer issuing a ticket at the time of the violation. The bill takes effect October 1, 2025.
