Motor Vehicle Administration - Access to Digital Records - Baltimore City Department of Housing and Community Development

SB 404 amends Maryland's Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) record-sharing rules to allow the MVA to provide digital photographs or signatures of individuals to Baltimore City's Special Investigations Unit (SIU) within the Department of Housing and Community Development. This directly affects the MVA (which must now share these records) and Baltimore City's SIU (which gains access to these records for investigations). The key provision explicitly adds the SIU to the list of authorized entities - alongside courts, criminal justice agencies, and others - that can access MVA's digital records, specifically for housing and community development enforcement purposes. The bill does not change public access to MVA records but streamlines record-sharing for this specific city agency.
