House legislators to file House Bill 2 Repeal Monday

RALEIGH, NC (WWAY) — Four members of North Carolina’s House of Representatives plan to file a bill to repeal House Bill 2 in its entirety Monday.

Last month, North Carolina Republicans pushed through a bill in a one day Special Session. It took less than 12 hours from the time NC Republican House leaders released the bill to members and the public until the Governor signed the controversial legislation.

House Representatives Darren Jackson, Graig Meyer, Susi Hamilton, and Grier Martin said this in a statement Sunday:

“The damage to NC’s reputation and economy has been swift and is growing exponentially. House Bill 2 is bad for all NC citizens and it is bad for all NC businesses.”

As part of this effort, the four house members  said they will hold a joint press conference on Monday at 11:00 a.m. in the NCGA pressroom to further explain beginning the effort to repeal House Bill 2.

The meeting is open to the public.
