House Bill HB 36 [PDF link], has been filed by Maryland Delegate Clarence Lam for the 2017 session in Annapolis.
This proposed anti-ICEing legislation is very similar to last year's HB 839 that I testified in support of (with amendments) in the House Environment and Transportation Committee. That bill passed the House but died in the Senate.
The bill requires “green pavement markings” in addition to a sign that meets applicable requirements in order to be enforceable.
Sign and Green Pavement Markings Specified
Towing Provision Included
$100 Fine for ICEing
A person who violates this section is subject to a civil penalty of $100.
