Maryland Employee Civic Activity and Lawful Expression Protection Act safeguards employees' rights to engage in lawful activities outside work hours.

The Maryland Employee Civic Activity and Lawful Expression Protection Act prohibits employers from taking adverse actions against employees for engaging in lawful off-duty civic activities and political expression. Employers cannot require employees to disclose their lawful activities unless related to job requirements. Employers must post notices about these protections and provide them to employees annually. Employees can file complaints with the Attorney General and bring civil actions for violations, with potential for significant damages and other remedies.
