Senate panel rejects Maryland public accommodations bill
ANNAPOLIS AP A bill extending or preserving the state public accommodations law was rejected by the House Judiciary Committee late Friday night ending hopes for broader desegregation rules. An identical Senate committee disapproved the measure earlier. Backers urged deferral or tailored exemptions for Baltimore City and nearby counties, arguing practical need and timing as lawmakers prepare to adjourn. Opponents said voluntary desegregation already works and a wider law would inflame tensions while harming interracial understanding. Several sponsors pressed for amendments to retain exemptions for certain counties as other regions seek similar carveouts. The outcome leaves in place existing exemptions and signals little chance of immediate passage.
