Maryland drug law risks licenses for offenders beginning Jan 1
Maryland’s new drug law takes effect January 1 enabling suspension or revocation of 130 licenses for those convicted of drug offenses. The statute targets professionals from electricians to librarians and veterinarians, with judges deciding license impacts and probation terms. Civil liberties groups oppose the measure, though supporters say it deters drug use and protects public welfare.
