Eduation Week: A proposed Texas bill that would have restricted restroom access for transgender people in many public buildings, including public schools, died Tuesday night after the state's house failed to take action on the measure during a special session.
The bill, previously approved by the senate and championed by Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, would have restricted access to restrooms and locker rooms in buildings operated by local governments—including school districts—based on the sex listed on a person's birth certificate or state-issued ID. It also included proposed restrictions for local anti-discrimination ordinances.
