The committee hearings on Friday exec'd that day. For those of you who missed that: 

• 1564 was voted unanimously ITL. We showed up and showed out and it really mattered. This was the bill that sought to remove gender identity from all state statutes. 

• Two of the bathroom bills were moved to Interim Study with unanimous votes from the committee. 1217 + 1442. 1442 had that extra troubling criminal component. 

• 1299 was recommended OTPA. The amendment designates that for public buildings to adopt this policy, it would also have to offer an individual/gender-neutral bathroom option. 

• 1447 was recommended OTP. Rep MacFarlane did note that he wanted to add an amendment to the bill, and plans to do so on the floor - because he wanted to ensure that public camp sites wouldn’t be subject to the legislation.

There were also updates on bills from the Senate and House sessions

• The Senate Approved 16Y-8N, SB434 - another censorship bill. 

• The Senate voted OTPA 16Y-8N, SB430 - the forced outing bill. 

• The House voted OTP 184 / 164 on HB1792 - that horrible anti-DEI bill.
