In Maryland, a new series of laws recently took effect in an effort to make communities safer. Here’s a look at the new legislations and how it will affect you:
- Talking on a hand-held phone while driving is now a primary offense, which means police have authority to pull over drivers and ticket them solely for the violation. This measure is important to increase road safety and to help prevent transportation accidents.
- Doctors that deliver babies will be required to report to a local agency if newborns have been exposed to illicit drugs.
- Employers with 15 or more employees are now required to make accommodations for disabilities due to pregnancy.
- Drivers or passengers riding in the front seat of a car will be required to wear a seat belt, which will decrease the chance of traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury or even death in the event of a car accident.
- Counties or municipalities that own or operate a swimming pool will need to implement an external defibrillator program, which will help prevent swimming pool accidents and deaths.
