TO: All Law Enforcement Officers of the State of Maryland Authorized to Issue Citations for Violations of the Natural Resources Laws

The attached list is a fine or penalty deposit schedule for certain violations of the Natural Resources laws. The amounts set out on this schedule are to be inserted by you in the appropriate space on the citation. The defendant in such cases, who does not care to contest guilt, may prepay the fine in that amount. The fine schedule is applicable whether the charge is made by citation, a statement of charges, or by way of criminal information.

For some violations, a defendant must stand trial and is not permitted to prepay a fine or penalty deposit. Additionally, there may be some offenses for which there is no fine listed. In both cases you should check the box which indicates that the defendant must appear in court on the offense.

I understand that this fine schedule has been approved for legal sufficiency by the Office of the Attorney General, Department of Natural Resources. This schedule has, therefore, been adopted pursuant to the authority vested in the Chief Judge of the District Court by the Constitution and laws of the State of Maryland. It is effective October 1, 2017, replacing all schedules issued prior hereto, and is to remain in force and effect until amended or repealed.

No law enforcement officer in the State is authorized to deviate from this schedule in any case in which he or she is involved. Your cooperation is appreciated.

Very truly yours,

John P. Morrissey Chief Judge

District Court of Maryland
