Transgender bathroom rule survives

Transgender people can continue to use restrooms and other public facilities based on the gender with which they identify. The Senate narrowly rejected an effort to repeal a rule approved late last year by the Human Rights Commission which allows people to use public restrooms, bathrooms and locker rooms based on their gender identity, not their biology. On a 24-25 vote, senators sided with those who said transgender people pose no risk to others and the rule merely codifies a practice in place for nearly 10 years/Jim Camden, SR. More here.
