Maryland Stored Wire and Electronic Communications and Transactional Records Access

MD Stored Communications Act
active

Maryland's counterpart to the federal Stored Communications Act makes it a crime to access a communications facility without authorization to obtain, alter, or block stored messages. It also bars public communication and remote computing service providers from knowingly disclosing stored message contents except to recipients, with consent, or as the subtitle allows, and it gives aggrieved users a civil remedy.
