HB 763 Maryland House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Speed Monitoring Systems - Citations - Failure to Pay

HB 763 repeals a requirement that speed monitoring system citations must include a statement advising recipients that failure to pay or contest is an admission of liability. The bill modifies Maryland's transportation code (Section 21-809(d)(1)(xi)) to remove this specific language while retaining all other citation details and consequences, such as registration refusal or suspension for non-payment. This change directly affects drivers who receive automated speed violation notices via mail. The policy shift simplifies the citation notice by eliminating the "admission of liability" warning, though penalties and contest procedures remain unchanged.
