The Commission on Inadvertent Displacement was authorized by the Governor in June 1997 (Executive Order 01.01.1997.03). The Commission studied whether the Family Investment Program of the Department of Human Resources might cause inadvertent displacement of employees and positions. The Program was formed by the State to promote the economic independence of families. Under the Program, some adults receive Temporary Cash Assistance. By the federal Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, Maryland must place recipients of Temporary Cash Assistance in jobs within 24 months (P.L. 104-193).

The Commission had seven members. Three were appointed by the Governor, one by the Senate President, and one by the House Speaker. Two served ex officio. The Governor named the chair.

The Commission submitted its final report to the Governor on March 31, 1998.
