Md. R. Ct. Admin. 16-924
Except as otherwise permitted by the Maryland Rules, other applicable law, or court order entered for good cause, a custodian may not condition the grant of a request for inspection on the identity of the requestor, any organizational or other affiliation of the requestor, or a disclosure by the requestor of the purpose of the request.
This Rule does not preclude a custodian from considering the identity or organizational or other affiliation of a requestor or the purpose of the request if the requestor has requested a waiver of allowable fees or that information is relevant to a determination of whether, under other Rules or applicable law, the requestor is not entitled to inspect the requested judicial record or some part of it. A custodian may request the identity of a requestor for the purpose of contacting the requestor.
