Maryland General Guidelines
Md. Code Ann. [Crim. Proc.], § 10109; Md. Regs. Code 09.01.10.02
Employers may not inquire about any criminal charges that have been expunged. May not use a refusal to disclose information as basis for not hiring an applicant.
Employees and applicants need not refer to nor give any information about an expunged charge. A professional or occupational license may not be refused or revoked simply because of a conviction; agency must consider the nature of the crime and its relation to the occupation or profession; the conviction’s relevance to the applicant’s fitness and qualifications; when conviction occurred and other convictions, if any; and the applicant’s behavior before and after conviction.
