Non-descrimination Statement
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 states: "No person in the United States shall, on the grounds of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance."

As Queen Anne’s County is a recipient of Federal financial assistance for some of it’s services, it is committed to ensuring that no person is excluded from participation in, or denied the benefits of such services on the basis of race, color or national origin, as protected by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

In calling for its enactment, President John F. Kennedy identified "simple justice" as the justification for Title VI: "Simple justice requires that public funds,to which all taxpayers of all races contribute, not be spent in any fashion which encourages, entrenches, subsidizes, or results in racial discrimination. Direct discrimination by Federal, State, or local governments is prohibited by the Constitution. But indirect discrimination, through the use of Federal funds, is just as invidious; and it should not be necessary to resort to the courts to prevent each individual violation."

President Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 into law on July 2, 1964.

If you believe you have been subjected to discrimination under Title VI based on your race, color, national origin, or any aspect of this policy, you may file a complaint up to 180 days from the date of the alleged discrimination. The complaint should include the following information:

• Your name, address, and how to contact you (i.e., telephone number, email address, etc.)
• How, when, where, and why you believe you were discriminated against. Include the location, names and contact information of any witnesses.

The complaint may be filed in writing to:
Queen Anne’s County Administrator’s Office, 107 North Liberty Street, Centreville, MD 2161.
