FindSafetyStations

Maryland inspection changes

Track dated changes that affect drivers: fees, cadence, exemptions, station-locator policy, and sticker rules. Until a legislative/admin change is cited, treat the official program page as authoritative.

Changelog

2026-10-01 — FindSafetyStations baseline

Published the initial Maryland hub summarizing Maryland Vehicle Safety Inspection Program (MSIS) with citations (COMAR 11.14.01, COMAR 11.14.02). No separate legislative change entry beyond that baseline yet.

What drivers should do: Confirm current rules on the official program page before registering or visiting a station.
