Courts and Judicial Proceedings and Criminal Procedure - Technical Corrections - References to Intellectual Disability
Maddy summaryHB 432 updates Maryland state laws to replace the outdated term "mental retardation" with "intellectual disability" across various court and criminal procedure statutes. This change directly affects legal definitions used in juvenile proceedings, competency evaluations, and the handling of defendants who may be unable to stand trial. The bill ensures that references to intellectual disabilities are consistent throughout the legal code, including sections governing the commitment of children and the assessment of defendants' fitness for trial. By modernizing this terminology, the legislation aligns state laws with current medical and social standards without altering the underlying legal processes.
