If MCCR determines that complaints of civil rights violations may fall within the jurisdiction of the Attorney General, MCCR may refer the complaints to the Attorney General. The Attorney General may investigate, prosecute, and remediate civil rights violations referred by MCCR, but is not required to do so. Pursuant to State Government Article, §20-1041(b)(1), Annotated Code of Maryland, the Attorney General does not have the authority to investigate, prosecute, and remediate civil rights violations on behalf of an individual. The Attorney General may refer these matters to MCCR. The Attorney General may advise the claimant that it is declining the matter and provide information regarding the process for filing a complaint with MCCR. The Attorney General may provide the information received from the claimant directly to MCCR. MCCR will address all referrals in accordance with its ordinary complaint processing procedures.
