An April 14 vote is scheduled on concurrence with the Senate version of "bathroom bill" H.4756 which includes amendments that are harmful to trans children and adults. The Senate version allows schools to substitute a single outdoor portable restroom (“Porta Potty”) anywhere on the school campus for that single user facility in each school building. Non-concurrence in the House would send this bill to a conference committee where these very harmful provisions can be removed. Contact your House member to vote NOT to concur with the Senate version.

S.1095, a total abortion ban with no exceptions for incest or rape, passed out of Senate Medical Affairs on April 21 and has moved to the full Senate calendar. If passed, people who seek abortion care and the providers who offer it could face jail time. It could also put access to birth control and in vitro fertilization (IVF) at risk.

We are confident objections will be filed, so it can’t be considered without special order. This requires a 2/3 vote. Call your senator and tell them to vote no on S.1095. #StopTheBansSC

S.1060, the Educator Safety and Classroom Authority Act, affirms the authority of teachers to implement classroom management. It asks for teachers and administrators to administer appropriate discipline measures to ensure a conducive learning environment in the classroom and school. Call your state senator and ask that the bill be immediately heard in subcommittee due to its late introduction in the two-year legislative session.

Please contact your House Representative to non-concur with the Senate's version of the H.4756 "bathroom bill" that recommends a porta potty as an acceptable accommodation. To be relegated to a porta potty while other students, staff, and visitors have access to permanent facilities is demeaning and hurtful.

Congress continues to introduce bills that would require voters to present documentary proof of citizenship (DPOC) to register and/or vote. Americans do not need MORE obstacles to vote. The SAVE Act and its iterations would create one more barrier to the voting process, as many eligible voters do not have easy access to the necessary documents. Tell Congress to oppose the SAVE Act suite of bills.

While attempting to provide for parents' rights and a broad range of beliefs, H.4757 creates considerable additional work for teachers and districts and fails to acknowledge school efforts already in place to resolve possible concerns. Existing laws, regulations, policies and procedures already address the provisions of this bill. Contact your State Senator to vote NO.

H. 4760 restricting access to abortion-inducing medications has passed the House and moved to the Senate Medical Affairs Committee. Email its members to vote NO on this harmful bill.

"Bathroom bill" H.4756 is unnecessary and puts cisgender students at risk of bullying and harassment. Parental rights are important, but the requirements of H.4757would be a significant burden on teachers and schools.

The House Constitutional Laws Subcommittee will hold hearings on bills
closing partisan primaries by party (January 15) and restricting abortion rights (January 14). Please add your voice as citizens and voters by attending the hearings if possible and by submitting written or oral testimony! The League is always especially concerned about bills that impact representative democracy, as the bills to close primary elections would, but we are also concerned about infringements on the rights of citizens in other areas.
