The amendment for non-discrimination protections fails on a party-line vote of 7-3.

Folks, we can’t make this up. A carve out to legalize discrimination on the basis of religion is fine, but statewide civil rights protections would have too many “unintended consequences.”

Re: the sex definition piece of HB 267:

A court in Montana just ruled today that their sex redefinition law is unconstitutional: bsky.app/profile/erin...

With legal challenges likely, if this bill passes, Georgia tax-payers would be forced to foot the bill in defense of discrimination in court.
Major news! A court in Montana has just declared SB458, a bill that "defines sex" in a way that ends the legal recognition of transgender people in Montana, as facially unconstitutional.

This is the first time a bill defining sex has been ruled on!

Huge win for trans people in MT!
