Despite the state Governor warning that such a measure is not necessary, legislators in Arkansas are working on an anti-trans ‘bathroom bill’.
A one-sentence bill was filed by two Senators in the state on Tuesday.
It reads: “The purpose of this act concerns gender identity and bathroom privileges.”
It doesn’t go into specifics of its enforcement but it does target trans people, dealing with gender identity and issues of bathroom access.
Republican Senator Gary Stubblefield said the bill would require people to use bathrooms in public which correspond to the sex stated on their birth certificate.
North Carolina already has a bill signed into law in 2016, HB2, which had the same effect and more.
