STATE AND LOCAL HIGHLIGHTS
MARYLAND
On November 10, the Baltimore City Council will introduce an ordinance, the Security Officers Compensation Bill, establishing stronger wage and benefit standards for security officers working across the city’s commercial sector. The bill requires security employers in the city to meet a minimum compensation level based on either the prevailing federal standard for security officers or the average pay and benefits offered in large commercial buildings across the city, whichever is higher. This ensures that officers earn wages and benefits that reflect the essential role they play in protecting workplaces and communities.
