Advancing Equal Educational Opportunities for All Students in Maryland

Summary

The measure lets the state Civil Rights Commission investigate and enforce a ban on discrimination in public and non‑public K‑12 and higher‑education institutions. It creates a private right of action and requires the Higher Education Commission and the University System Board to forward complaints to the Commission. The goal is to give students clearer protection against bias based on race, gender, disability, sexual orientation, and other protected traits.
