Md. Code, Transp. § 13-909: (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this subtitle, the Administration may adopt a system of staggered registration for any motor vehicle class

What this law says, in plain English

The Administration may create a staggered vehicle registration system with varying registration periods (7-18 months) and prorated fees. Registration plates must follow an Administration schedule, and fees are calculated by multiplying one-twelfth of the standard fee by the number of months issued.
