Bill > H529

This bill is a legislative effort to completely repeal House Bill 2 (HB2), a controversial North Carolina law that had previously regulated bathroom access and local anti-discrimination ordinances. Specifically, the bill does two main things: first, it repeals Article 81A of Chapter 143 of the General Statutes, which was the original legal framework of HB2, and second, it repeals a specific subsection (G.S. 95-25.1(d)) related to employment and labor regulations that was part of the original bill. The legislation is designed to be straightforward and immediate, with the bill becoming effective as soon as it is signed into law. By removing these specific legal provisions, the bill effectively eliminates the previous restrictions and returns the legal landscape to its state prior to the passage of HB2, which had been widely criticized for its discriminatory implications toward LGBTQ+ individuals, particularly transgender people.
