New laws in MD impact guns, drug testing and child victims

The Maryland State House in Annapolis.

The legal landscape changed in Maryland yesterday. A number of new laws took effect. We talked about one of them here on Midday last week: the Child Victims Act, which eliminated the statute of limitations on civil suits for victims of sexual abuse. We thought it would be helpful to ask our Statehouse reporter and News Director, Matt Bush, to give us an overview of a few more of the bills that are now the law of the land.

For more on the laws, you can view more here: Gun limits, end of statute of limitations headline new laws taking effect Oct. 1 in Maryland.
