Tennessee Transgender Bathroom Bill Fails in Committee

Nattayanee Darath, 123rf

A transgender bathroom bill in Tennessee has failed in a state Senate committee. 

On Wednesday, the Senate Education Committee made no motion to consider the legislation by Republican Sen. Mae Beavers.

The lack of motion effectively kills the bill for the year. The bill would require students in public schools and public colleges and universities to use restrooms and locker rooms of their sex on their birth certificates.
