Maryland SB258 establishes criteria for the acceptance of private road dedications to public use.

Maryland SB258 modifies the criteria for accepting the dedication of private roads to public use. A private road is considered offered for dedication if it has been open to public travel for 10 years or more. The State, a county, or a municipality is deemed to have accepted such an offer under specific conditions. The bill also prohibits local laws, ordinances, or regulations that conflict with these provisions. It emphasizes that these provisions do not limit other legal methods of offering or accepting dedications of private land to public use.
