Despite being previously vetoed by Governor Hogan, the Criminal Records Screening Act went into effect on February 29, 2020, because of state legislation that overrode the governor’s veto on January 30, 2020. The Act implements statewide ban-the-box provisions, though it does not preempt the more expansive local ordinances already implemented in Baltimore City or Montgomery and Prince George’s Counties.
