And you can assert that Fred and the writer of the article are "Quite accurate". This doesn't mean that many that actually read and understand it will agree with you.

Quote:PART I. SINGLE-SEX MULTIPLE OCCUPANCY BATHROOM AND CHANGING 24 FACILITIES 25 SECTION 1.1. G.S. 115C-47 is amended by adding a new subdivision to read: 26 "(63) To Establish Single-Sex Multiple Occupancy Bathroom and Changing 27 Facilities. – Local boards of education shall establish single-sex multiple 28 occupancy bathroom and changing facilities as provided in G.S. 115C-521.2." 29 SECTION 1.2. Article 37 of Chapter 115C of the General Statutes is amended by 30 adding a new section to read: 31 "§ 115C-521.2. Single-sex multiple occupancy bathroom and changing facilities. 32 (a) Definitions. – The following definitions apply in this section: 33 (1) Biological sex. – The physical condition of being male or female, which is 34 stated on a person's birth certificate

There is the actual "bathroom" part of the bill.

It actually defines who can use what restroom and when.

All based on "biological sex".

Quote:Accommodations Permitted. – Nothing in this section shall prohibit public agencies 13 from providing accommodations such as single occupancy bathroom or changing facilities upon a 14 person's request due to special circumstances, but in no event shall that accommodation result in 15 the public agency allowing a person to use a multiple occupancy bathroom or changing facility 16 designated under subsection (b) of this section for a sex other than the person's biological sex. 

This is specifically to keep anyone from using a bathroom if they have different parts based on their birth certificate...not what they have now.  Not how they look...but what did the doctor see on day one.  Along with the note that no one can accommodate anyone else.

If that is not rolling back any protection perhaps they should have worded it clearer.

The second section is to make sure no cities try to raise minimum wage because...bathrooms?

Part III is a winner too!

Quote:The General Assembly declares that the regulation of discriminatory practices in 32 employment is properly an issue of general, statewide concern, such that this Article and other 33 applicable provisions of the General Statutes supersede and preempt any ordinance, regulation, 34 resolution, or policy adopted or imposed by a unit of local government or other political 35 subdivision of the State that regulates or imposes any requirement upon an employer pertaining to 36 the regulation of discriminatory practices in employment, except such regulations applicable to 37 personnel employed by that body that are not otherwise in conflict with State law." 

Remember when Lucy would say that if you don't like the way you are treated you should just move?  Well NC just said you have to move out of the state because no city or town or hamlet will be passing any regulations to help or protect you from being discriminated against while the state can make laws to override them.

Get it?

But, again, it doesn't effect you so you don't care.  And I have no problem with that.  Just stop pretending it isn't what it is just to argue.
