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.

Action Alerts

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.
