The Baltimore County Council plans to pass a law Monday to bar discrimination against military veterans in renting and selling homes.
While Councilman Todd Crandell, a Dundalk Republican, conceived of the bill, all six of his colleagues have signed on as sponsors, ensuring the measure's passage.
Current county law bans housing discrimination based on a person's race, creed, religion, color, sex, age, national origin, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression or physical or mental disability.
