MD Governor Bars Discrimination In Executive Branch Employment Practices
On Tuesday, Maryland's Governor Martin O'Malley signed Executive Order 01.01.2007.09 creating a Code of Fair Employment Practices. It bars any state administrative agency or executive branch department from discriminating on the basis of age, ancestry, color, creed, genetic information, marital status, mental or physical disability, national origin, religious affiliation or belief or opinion, race, sex, or sexual orientation. Bizjournals reported on the executive order yesterday.
