ANNAPOLIS, April 5 — The Judicial Proceedings Committee acted on multiple bills during its April 5 session. Below are one‑line summaries of bills recorded in the committee transcript and the outcomes captured on the record.

- House Bill 681 — Child‑support license suspension: Committee reported favorably; transcript records the bill passed unanimously.

- House Bill 1371 — Motor vehicle electronic credentials: Committee reported favorably; transcript records the bill passed unanimously. Committee discussion noted uncertainty whether non‑Real ID credentials are eligible for the program; counsel said the bill does not specify Real ID status and that program operators may voluntarily choose Real ID‑only issuance.

- House Bill 1367 — Civil penalty for falsifying lead‑dust test reports: Committee reported favorably; transcript records a 10–1 vote.

- House Bill 1440 — Court lactation rooms and jury‑excusal provisions: Committee reported favorably; committee discussion clarified the requirement applies to courthouses constructed or undergoing major renovation on or after Oct. 1, 2025, and that a lactation room need not be solely dedicated so long as the listed equipment (chair/table, lockable door, sink, refrigerator) is provided.

- House Bill 1076 — Landlord notice before entry: Committee reported favorably; transcript includes a recorded affirmative outcome (tally referenced late in the hearing as 9–2 in the captured record). The bill authorizes injunctive relief or damages for tenants for violations of entry notice requirements.
