The North Carolina House and Senate held meetings on Wednesday, Dec. 21, called by Gov. Pat McCrory with the purpose of determining the future of the states discriminatory HB2 bathroom bill.
After 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, said the L.A. Times, the House voted 58 to 45 to adjourn, leaving the messy matter unfinished.
McCrory signed the bill in March of this year, and targets the transgender community by restricting which bathroom any person is allowed to use. The bill itself calls for all people to use the bathroom that is associated with their so-called biological sex, defined as the physical condition of being male or female, which is stated on a persons birth certificate.
After hours of recess and debate, the state Senate failed to approve legislation to repeal the bathroom bill. The legislation to repeal HB2, which was introduced by Republican lawmakers, would also impose a six-month cooling off period.
