North Carolina’s repeal of House Bill 2, or the “bathroom bill,” has left few people satisfied, and North Carolina’s economic future remains unclear.
House Bill 142 repeals HB2 in its entirety. But it leaves regulating access to public showers and bathrooms up to state legislators. It also prevents local governments from enacting anti-discrimination ordinances until at least 2020.
The Senate and House passed the bill and it was signed by Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper, who called it “not a perfect deal” and not his “preferred solution.”
