TRANS APPROVED: Nevada Passes Trans Anti-Discrimination Bill!

HRC Backstory reports: Yesterday, members of the Nevada State Assembly took a final vote on AB 211, a bill codifying prohibitions against discrimination in employment on the basis of gender identity or expression. The bill had already passed the Assembly but required a vote to agree to minor amendments made in the State Senate. The bill now moves to the desk of Governor Brian Sandoval for his consideration.

If signed into law, Nevada would become the 14th U.S. state, along with the District of Columbia, to provide protections based on gender identity or expression.
