Bathroom bill stalls as Arkansas lawmakers consider costs Bathroom bill stalls as Arkansas lawmakers consider costs REP. CINDY CRAWFORD: head sponsor of a new bathroom bill A bill to force schools, arenas and all other publicly owned buildings in Arkansas to require people to use the bathrooms that correspond to their sex at birth got gummed up in a House committee Monday over worries that it could cost the state millions. Rep. Cindy Crawford (R-Fort Smith) will be sent for a fiscal impact study and then will come back the House Committee on State Agencies and Governmental Affairs, Chair Dwight Tosh (R-Jonesboro) said. Tosh made the order for a fiscal impact study after nearly an hour of testimony from people who opposed the bathroom bill. Many of them represented universities, prisons, arenas and other government entities and said the costs to meet requirements set out in HB 1882 would be sky high.
