The issue
The Legislative Black Caucus of Maryland has put forward HB1422/SB0587 that will establish a state wide commission to study the impacts of enslavement, Jim Crow and other forms of racial oppression against Black people in Maryland and to make formal recommendations in 2027 to the Maryland General Assembly regarding steps to address the ongoing impacts of this history on Black people in Maryland. Maryland has adopted a piecemeal strategy regarding the expungement of criminal records.
