On this past Saturday (April 09, 2011), the gender identity bill (HB 235) passed out of the Judicial Proceedings Committee by a vote of 7-4 this past Saturday. From Chris Geidner's Metro Weekly article Maryland Gender Identity Bill Passes Out of Senate Committee 7-4:
The Maryland Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee voted today, April 9, 7-4 in favor of the Gender Identity Anti-Discrimination Act, House Bill 235. The legislation passed with an amendment, from Sen. Brian Frosh (D-Montgomery) to take out protections against discrimination based on "appearance, expression or behavior" and instead adding "the manifestation of that identity in gender-related appearance, characteristics and mannerisms."
