Can I skip verifying consumer requests in Maryland? What are the requirements?

Based on the context documents provided, it is not clear what consumer requests you are referring to. However, it is important to note that Maryland has regulations in place regarding requests related to public records, as outlined in MDCR 14.02.05.03, MDCR 14.27.04.04, and MDCR 31.02.05.04.

If you are referring to requests related to public records, custodians are required to respond to written requests in accordance with General Provisions Article, §§4-201—4-302, Annotated Code of Maryland [3.1][4.2]. If the custodian denies the request, they must provide a written statement that gives the reason for the denial, the legal authority for the denial, a brief description of the denied public record, and notice of the remedies for review of the denial [4.2].

If the written request is denied by the custodian, the applicant may request an administrative hearing on the denial within 30 days after receipt of denial [5.1]. If the administrative hearing results in a total or partial denial of the written request, the applicant may file an appropriate action in the circuit court under State Government Article, §10-623, Annotated Code of Maryland [5.1]. Alternatively, the applicant may file an action with the circuit court pursuant to General Provisions Article, §4-362, Annotated Code of Maryland, without exhausting the administrative remedy under State Government Article, Title 10, Subtitle 2, Annotated Code of Maryland [4.3].

In summary, it is not clear what consumer requests you are referring to. However, if you are referring to requests related to public records, custodians are required to respond to written requests in accordance with General Provisions Article, §§4-201—4-302, Annotated Code of Maryland. If the request is denied, the applicant may request an administrative hearing or file an action in the circuit court.
