Area lawmakers split along party lines on HB2 BY JOHN HAWLEY Staff writer Area lawmakers split along party lines Thursday as the General Assembly voted to repeal House Bill 2, the state’s intensely contro versial “bathroom law.” The repeal bill, HB142, passed 32-16 in the Senate, where Sen. Erica Smith-In gram, D-Northampton, vot ed for it and Sen. Bill Cook, R-Beaufort, voted against. The bill eliminates the re quirement that certain pub lic accommodations be used based solely on “biological sex,” rather than gender identity, and provides that lo cal governments, state agen cies and universities may not regulate multiple occupancy restrooms, shower rooms or changing facilities “except in accordance with an act of the General Assembly.” The bill also states that cities and counties may not pass ordinances regulating public accommodations un til Dec. 1,2020. It was in fact Charlotte City Council’s pas sage of a public accommoda tion ordinance last year that prompted state lawmakers to pass HB2. In opposing the compro mise, Cook said in a state ment that he stood by his vote for HB2 in March 2016. “It is simple, we don’t be lieve grown men should be allowed to go to the bath- room or take off their clothes in the presence of little girls; this was wrong and we stopped it,” Cook said. Cook was alluding to con cerns that LGBT-friendly ordinances like Charlotte’s would give cover to sexual predators. Published reports examining policies similar to Charlotte’s have found they’re rarely a factor in such incidents. In supporting the com promise, Smith-Ingram said the state’s existing laws against trespassing, assault and other crimes protect people from harassment in private areas. Smith-Ingram also said that, despite rais ing safety concerns, HB2 never spelled out penalties for violators nor did it create a “potty police.” Thursday’s legislation returns the state to the “status ante,” or how things were before HB2, she said. She argued the law’s ac tual impact was harming the state’s economy, eliminat ing workplace protections through large changes to nondiscrimination policies, and making the LGBT com munity feel isolated and os tracized. Citing a recent Associated Press report estimating that business boycotts due to HB2 had cost North Carolina almost $3.8 billion, Smith-In gram said Thursday’s com promise “moves the state in the right direction in stop ping a tremendous econom ic bleed.” Lawmakers’ vote also coincided with the NCAAs deadline for repeal of HB2.
