Bill filed to repeal N. Carolina ‘bathroom law’

(MSNBC) — Four Democratic lawmakers in North Carolina’s House of Representatives on Monday introduced a measure to repeal the state’s controversial House Bill 2, otherwise known as the Public Facilities Privacy & Security Act, which prohibits transgender people from using the bathroom in accordance with their gender identities.

The bill, known as House Bill 946, would undo HB 2 in its entirety and appropriate $545,407 to the state’s Human Relations Commission, an office within the Department of Administration that enforces equal opportunities in employment, housing, public accommodations, recreation, education, justice, and governmental services. It was filed by Reps. Darren Jackson, Graig Meyer, Susi Hamilton and Grier Martin, who said in a press conference Monday morning that “HB2 goes against everything I know about my fellow North Carolinians.”
