Criminal Law - Mail and Package Theft

HB 805, introduced on January 29, 2025, by Delegates Solomon, Kaufman, and Shetty, would create new criminal prohibitions in Maryland for stealing mail or packages under specific circumstances and for possessing an arrow key in certain situations. The bill amends the Criminal Law Article to add sections 3-905 and 3-905.1, while changing court jurisdiction to allow both District and Circuit Courts to handle these cases. It repeals existing sections of Maryland law related to mail theft and criminal jurisdiction, replacing them with these new provisions. The exact circumstances triggering these prohibitions are not detailed in the provided bill text.
