Proposal Attacking Trans Community in Arizona House

March 19, 2013 by Adrian Matanza, Senior Regional Field Organizer

Last week, the Arizona State Senate passed SB1432, a bill that would establish a stronger Arizona State Board of Massage Therapy. The bill is now in the hands of the Arizona House of Representatives and our opponents are working to strike SB1432 and replace it with anti-transgender language.

The proposed amendment would make it illegal for transgender individuals to use the restroom, dressing room or other sex-segregated facilities with which they identify.

The bill and amendment are being considered in the AZ House Committee on Appropriations as early as tomorrow. Please contact your state representatives and those in the committee listed below.
