Each year, the start of July marks more than just the middle of summer—it also means new laws passed by the Maryland General Assembly officially go into effect. On July 1, 2025, dozens of new measures became law, covering a wide range of issues that impact Marylanders of all ages.
From public health and transportation to consumer protection and education, these new laws could affect your family, workplace, or community. Some aim to improve safety and access to services, while others update older policies to reflect modern needs.
To help you stay informed, HC DrugFree has compiled a spreadsheet highlighting key law changes most relevant to our work and the families we serve.
