Top Things To Know About New Laws In Maryland

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Some of the high-profile new laws approved in Maryland this year will take effect on Wednesday. Here are some of the most prominent.

MARIJUANA DECRIMINALIZATION

The possession of less than 10 grams of marijuana will be a civil offense rather than a criminal one. Civil penalties include $100 for a first offense, $250 for a second offense and $500 for a third offense. The law requires teen offenders to be evaluated for treatment.

TRANSGENDER DISCRIMINATION

Transgender residents will have protection against discrimination on matters relating to housing, employment, credit and use of public accommodations. The law defines gender identity as the gender-related identity, appearance, expression or behavior of a person, regardless of the person’s assigned sex at birth. The law says gender identity is demonstrated as “consistent and uniform assertion of the person’s gender identity or any other evidence that the gender identity is sincerely held as part of the person’s core identity.”

    So, basically, no judging strange, freaky, or weird looking people?

    "Transgender residents will have protection against discrimination on matters relating to housing, employment, credit and use of public accommodations."

    Excuse me? What about my protection and that of my children? Let's be blunt (in spite of politically correct) and post notice on "public accommodations" where so called sex weirdos hang out? Nobody in my family wants to have someone next to use offer to wipe out butts. Instead of avoiding Rehoboth Beach, tell me where in that town I should choose to avoid.

    Looks like the cops have to do real police work instead of wasting time and resources on minor marijuana possessions

    This is a disaster although not surprised with Maryland.
    I don't care about the dope side. That's actually a great idea and will save the state $$.
    Regarding you cross-dress freaks, you better not ever be in a women's public bathroom when my daughters happen to be in there. If I catch you, I'm gonna save you that $100,000 you've been needing to have "it" removed.
