NC Bill Passed on Parents Protection Act

The NC Values Coalition applauds the NC House of Representatives’ bipartisan passage of Senate Bill 442, the Parents Protection Act, by a vote of 74–36 last week and the concurrence of the Senate by a vote of 28-19. The bill shields parents from losing custody of their children or facing prosecution for abuse simply because they do not support gender transition interventions. The bill states that parents should never be required by the government to affirm dangerous and unscientific gender transition. Notably, nine House Democrats voted in favor of the bill, joining all Republican in supporting parental rights.
