House Bill 2: One year later, where does it stand?
RALEIGH, North Carolina (WTVD) — It’s been one year since House Bill 2 became the most famous – and infamous – piece of legislation in North Carolina.
The controversial law gained national attention for requiring transgender people to use multi-stall restrooms in public buildings that correspond to the sex on their birth certificates and blocks expansion of LGBT rights in local ordinances and state law.
Since passing, a lot has happened.
The state has seen economic boycotts, national protests, the loss of college and pro sports events and ultimately a change in governorship, all of which can be traced back to the so-called “bathroom bill.”
Governor Roy Cooper has repeatedly talked about the urgency to repeal HB2.
Both parties say they’re willing to negotiate a repeal, but can’t seem to agree on a compromise even one year after the controversial law was passed.
