Committe Substitute for Senate Bill 238

Yesterday, the Senate Judiciary Committee debated and passed out SB 238 to the full Senate for a vote.  The good news is that we have gotten our Bill out of committee, and are headed for a floor vote.  

Unfortunately, the provisions regarding protections for gender identity were removed via amendment during the committee process.  We are dissapointed that protections for West Virginia's transgendered population were removed, but we also recognize that the Bill is moving and heading for a vote on the floor of the State Senate.

Thank you for your hard work.  More to come.

Didn't the same thing happen in Congress?

Good job, ACLU of WV and everyone else on the right side of this.

When a man embarks upon a crime, he is morally guilty of any other crime which may spring from it. Sherlock Holmes.


roll call on amendment? (0.00 / 0)
Was there a roll call on the bill and the amendment? I'd be nice to know who are friends and who are true friends are.
