Please, vote NO on SB1499 on the Senate floor.
SB1499 is an anti-transgender student bathroom bill. By providing the assistance of the Attorney General or private legal counsel, the State of Tennessee would be encouraging school districts to pursue bad policy that hurts students. That is an atrocious use of the office and of taxpayer funds. School districts are still likely to lose in court and have to pay thousands of dollars in legal settlements, so this bill will give them a false sense of security. But regardless of whether that happens, this bill makes Tennessee a target like North Carolina and we will lose millions in economic investment.
Thank you for considering my views.
