Bill modeled after NC and Mississippi puled by the legistlature
executives with numerous companies signed on to a letter expressing concern about the bill and sent it to Lieutenant Governor and Speaker of the Senate Ron Ramsey and Speaker of the House Beth Harwell. The executives didn’t go so far as to threaten to pull out of Tennessee, but they said that laws like the one proposed “are bad for our employees and bad for business.” They also said such laws would make it more difficult to attract and retain the best workers.
The bill was also likely to cost the state federal education funding, as it would conflict with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which bans sex discrimination in schools that receive federal money. The U.S. Department of Education has held that sex discrimination includes discrimination based on gender identity. Tennessee’s attorney general had issued an opinionsaying if the bill became law, it was very likely to result in a loss of federal funding, which Tennessee schools receive to the tune of $3 billion a year.
