HB1442: Public Testimony
HB1442 This sweeping and cruel bill applies to publicly accessible bathrooms, including private businesses. It criminally charges trans bathroom users with "willful trespass." Bizarrely, it only applies to trans women. They also make an erroneous attempt to define around intersex conditions, based on the presence of the SRY gene. The potential impact is so remarkable that it was recently covered in a national trans news article. (House Judiciary Committee) Track
Official Title: limiting the use of certain facilities on the basis of sex and redefining the term "gender identity."
