2 Dems introduce Add the Words bill

An “Add the Words” bill was introduced in the Senate today by two Boise Democratic senators, Sens. Grant Burgoyne and Cherie Buckner-Webb, to ban discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. The deadline to introduce personal bills – those that don’t first go through a committee to get a vote on whether or not they’ll be introduced – is this Friday. “There is a deadline, and we and the stakeholders definitely want to have a bill,” Burgoyne said. “So we just thought that to make sure that there is a bill, that we should put a bill in”/ Betsy Russell , Eye on Boise.
