Bill > SB1010

This bill, the Disclosing Sexual Harassment in the Workplace Act of 2018, aims to address sexual harassment in the workplace in Maryland. It provides that, except as prohibited by federal law, employment contracts, policies, or agreements that waive an employee's rights or remedies to a claim of sexual harassment or retaliation are null and void as against public policy. The bill also requires employers with 50 or more employees to submit an annual survey to the Commission on Civil Rights, which will then publish the aggregate data and make individual employer responses available for public inspection. The bill has a sunset provision, where the survey requirement will expire on June 30, 2023.
