SB 106 Maryland Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Child Support - Suspension of Driver's Licenses

SB 106 modifies Maryland law to change how child support arrears lead to driver's license suspensions. It requires the Child Support Enforcement Administration to send written notice to parents with unpaid support (60+ days for non-commercial licenses, 120+ days for commercial licenses) before notifying the Motor Vehicle Administration. The bill adds protections: parents must be notified of their right to request an investigation into inaccuracies, employment impacts, or undue hardship before suspension, and they may receive a work-restricted license during the process. It also requires the Administration to seek court approval for suspensions if parents agree to a payment plan. The law aims to balance enforcement with due process for affected parents.
