Maryland Adds Multiracial Classification
Date: May 12, 1998
Governor Glendening signed House Bill 253 into law,
effective July 1, 1998. The legislation allows respondents to choose more
than one racial category and includes instructions that multiracial
respondents may select all applicable categories.
We applaud the State of
Maryland for using progressive and accurate wording in its legislation.
Congratulations to Project RACE members, especially Julie Kershaw and
Nathan Douglas, who helped make House Bill 253 a reality.
