Maryland SB1 prohibits law enforcement officers from wearing face coverings while on duty, with exceptions for specific circumstances.

Maryland SB1 mandates the Maryland Police Training and Standards Commission to create a model policy prohibiting law enforcement officers from wearing face coverings while performing their duties, except in defined situations. The law requires law enforcement agencies to adopt policies aligning with the Commission's model policy. It prohibits officers from wearing face coverings unless authorized by an adopted policy. Violating this rule results in a misdemeanor charge, potential imprisonment, and a fine. The law does not apply to officers actively engaged in undercover operations.
