SECTION 1. BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF
MARYLAND, That the Laws of Maryland read as follows:

Article - Courts and Judicial Proceedings

3-824.

(a) (1) An adjudication of a child pursuant to this
subtitle is not a criminal conviction for any purpose and does
not impose any of the civil disabilities ordinarily imposed by a
criminal conviction.

(2) An adjudication and disposition of a child in
which the child's driving privileges have been suspended may not
affect the child's driving record or result in a point
assessment. The State Motor Vehicle Administration may not
disclose information concerning or relating to a suspension under
this subtitle to any insurance company or person other than the
child, the child's parent or guardian, the court, the child's
attorney, a State's Attorney, or law enforcement agency.

(3) However, [an adjudication of a child as
delinquent] A FINDING THAT A CHILD HAS COMMITTED A DELINQUENT
ACT by reason of his violation of the State vehicle laws shall be
reported by the clerk of the court to the Motor Vehicle
Administration, which shall assess points against the child under
Title 16, Subtitle 4 of the Transportation Article, in the same
manner and to the same effect as if the child had been convicted
of the offense.
