As we previously reported, earlier this year Maryland passed a number of employment laws that, among other things, prohibit use of facial recognition technology, wage history inquires and hairstyle discrimination, and revise the state's mini-WARN act. These laws will take effect on October 1, 2020. For more detail on the new laws, see our original post, which is available here.
