The Maryland Guide for Shielding of MD Second Chance Act Records (Bilingual — Spanish Format) is a document created by the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services to help individuals take advantage of the Maryland Second Chance Act. This Act allows individuals with certain criminal records to have their records sealed or not accessible to the public. The guide explains the eligibility criteria and application process for shielding records under the Act. It also provides information on the types of records that can be shielded, the procedures for submitting an application, the fees associated with record shielding, and the timelines for the process. The Maryland Guide for Shielding of MD Second Chance Act Records is available in both English and Spanish and comes in two formats: an online version and a printed version. The online version is available on the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services website and includes interactive features and links to other resources. The printed version is available at the department's offices and is updated regularly.
