ANNAPOLIS — Maryland's highest court on Tuesday said a referendum on
whether to approve a law banning discrimination against transgendered
people could not go on the Nov. 4 ballot.
The ruling, a day after the Court of Appeals heard the case and a day
before the ballot must be certified, puts legislation passed last year
by the Montgomery County Council and signed by County Executive Isiah
Leggett (D) in effect as law.
The law prohibits discrimination against transgendered individuals.
