Dwindling Alabama legislative clock could doom bill restricting transgender medical rights
Updated 9:25 AM;
The president of the nation’s largest LGBTQ lobbying group encouraged Alabama state lawmakers to “do your jobs” and “protect all constituents in Alabama” and not vote to advance legislation restricting certain medical care for transgender youths.
But among supporters of controversial SB10, it could be the clock and not opposition from fellow Republicans, that becomes the bill’s undoing. The legislation passed overwhelmingly out of the Alabama Senate in early March, but remains stalled on the House floor and there is only one more day for lawmakers to act. The Legislature’s final session in which members of the legislative branch can advance bills to Gov. Kay Ivey’s desk is May 17.
