State Government - Research Duties and Advisory Committee on Black Males - Repeal

SB 243 repeals a requirement that Maryland's Office of Small, Minority, and Women Business Affairs conduct annual research and submit reports on unemployment, criminal justice, education, and health issues affecting Black males. It also eliminates the authorization for the Office to create an Advisory Committee on Black Males. The bill removes these specific duties and structures from Maryland law, which were originally established in 1995. This is a procedural repeal with no new policy changes.
