RALEIGH, N.C. -- The North Carolina General Assembly voted Wednesday afternoon to pass a bill that will overturn Charlotte's expansion of its non-discrimination ordinances, which was slated to take effect April 1.
The House voted 83-25 to strike down the ordinance which contains a controversial provision allowing a transgender person to the use the bathroom that they identify with.
Following the House's vote, the Senate approved the bill 32-0, with Senate Democrats refusing to vote on the bill.
With the General Assembly approving the bill, all this is left is the signing of the bill by Governor Pat McCrory.
