Ch.3
2007 Laws of Maryland
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 30, § 33(e) and (i)(3). In subsection (a) of this section, the word "affect" is substituted for the
former words "modifies or alters" for brevity. In subsection (b) of this section, the reference to "an individual without
those disabilities" is substituted for the former reference to "a person who
is not blind or visually handicapped" for consistency with § 7-702 of this
subtitle. As to the substitution of the reference to a "hard of hearing" pedestrian for
the former reference to a "hearing impaired" pedestrian and the
substitution of the reference to a "visually impaired individual" for the
former reference to a "Visually handicapped person" in subsection (b) of
this section, see General Revisor's Note to subtitle. The Human Services Article Review Committee notes, for consideration by
the General Assembly, that TR § 21-511 requires the driver of a vehicle to
yield the right-of-way to: "(1) A blind or partially blind pedestrian using a
guide dog or carrying a cane predominantly white or metallic in color (with
or without a red tip); (2) A deaf or hearing impaired pedestrian
accompanied by a guide dog; or (3) A mobility impaired individual crossing
a roadway while using any of the following mobility-assisted devices: (i) A
manual or motorized wheelchair; (ii) A motorized scooter; (iii) Crutches; or
(iv) A cane". The General Assembly may wish to consider adding references to a
"visually impaired pedestrian" and a "mobility impaired pedestrian" in
subsection (a) of this section for consistency within this subtitle and with
TR § 21-511. Defined terms: "Blind" § 7-701
"Deaf" § 7-701 "Housing accommodations" § 7-701
7-707. VIOLATIONS; INJUNCTION. (A) VIOLATIONS. (1) A PERSON MAY NOT DENY OR INTERFERE WITH ADMITTANCE TO OR
ENJOYMENT OF A PUBLIC PLACE, ACCOMMODATION, OR CONVEYANCE DESCRIBED
est § 7-704 OF THIS SUBTITLE OR OTHERWISE INTERFERE WITH THE RIGHTS OF A
BLIND, VISUALLY IMPAIRED, DEAF, OR HARD OF HEARING INDIVIDUAL UNDER THIS
SUBTITLE. (2) A PERSON WHO VIOLATES THIS SUBSECTION IS GUILTY OF A
MISDEMEANOR AND ON CONVICTION IS SUBJECT TO A FINE NOT EXCEEDING $500
FOR EACH OFFENSE. (B) INJUNCTION.
