MD SB825

Adds three categories of Baltimore City officers to the list of protected personnel under Maryland's assault law: special enforcement officers (§ 16-16A), special parking enforcement officers (§ 16-16B), and special traffic enforcement officers (§ 16-16C)

Intentionally causing physical injury to these officers while they perform official duties becomes a felony rather than a misdemeanor

Maximum fine increases from $2,500 to $5,000 for assaults against these protected officers; maximum imprisonment remains 10 years

Applies only when the assailant knows or has reason to know the victim is a protected officer performing official duties

Takes effect October 1, 2025
