The Human Relanons Commission originated in
1927 as the Interracial Commission (Chapter 559, Acts
of 1927). In 1943, it was reorganized as the Commission
to Study Problems Affecting the Colored Population
(Chapter 431, Acts of 1943). Renamed in 1951 as the
Commission on Interracial Problems and Relations, it
became the Human Relations Commission in 1969
(Chapter 548,Acts of 1951; Chapter 83,Acts of 1968).
The Commission's goal is to eliminate discrimi-
nation based on race, color, national origin, relig-
ion, sex, marital status, physical or mental handicap,
and age. The Commission administers and enforces
Maryland anti-discrimination statutes for housing,
employment, and public accomodations. It also
initiates and investigates complaints of discrimina-
tion in State government agencies.
The Commission may conduct public hearings, ad-
minister oaths, and issue subpoenas. It also compels
attendance or testimony of witnesses and oversees exhib-
its of books, papers, records, and documents relevant or
necessary for legal proceedings In addition to other
relief, the Commission can issue a cease and desist order
if evidence shows that a respondent has engaged in a
discriminatory act. In cases of employment discrimina-
tion, it may award up to two years of back pay.
Commission work for fair employment practices is
supplemented by a deferral relationship and funding
from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Com-
mission. Similarly, the U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development funds, through cooperative
agreements, case processing and community educa
tion for the Commission's fair housing efforts
The Commission consists of nine members ap-
pointed to six-year terms by the Governor with
Senate advice and consent. The Governor names
the Executive Director (Code 1957, Art. 49B).
