SB1001, Kavanagh’s anti-trans pronoun bill, is apparently up for House floor debate tomorrow, Tuesday, 4/25/23. This bill will ban faculty in a school from referring to a trans student by their preferred pronouns or name other than their legal name or related nickname unless they have written consent from a parent. I say “apparently” because it showed up on a COW calendar for today, but the House did not have a floor session today. My guess is that it will be up tomorrow. This is just debate. I don’t know when they will vote on it, because ousted Republican Liz Harris has not been replaced, and House leadership appears to be hesitant to move forward on partisan votes until she’s replaced.

Please write your representatives and ask them to oppose SB1001. You can find your legislators at the link below. You can also write these Republicans, who are in my assessment, in order, the most likely to vote against it.

Anti-drag bill SB1026 and the anti-trans bathroom bill for schools SB1040 are both up for final House floor vote tomorrow, Wednesday 4/12/23. SB1028 and SB1030, which started as anti-drag bills but had the drag references amended out of them (but Republicans still think will be used against drag shows) are also up for final vote. If you haven't done so, please contact your House representatives and ask them to vote against these bills.
