A misdemeanor by federal definition is a crime whose maximum punishment is 1 year in prison or less. It refers to a lesser crime as compared to a felony, which encompasses major crimes. The distinction in Maryland between the two has many implications for other laws, as well as effects on eligibility for programs and certain types of employment.
