When Democrat Roy Cooper ran for governor in 2016,Watch Nice Sister he made one promise to his constituents: that he would work to repeal HB2, North Carolina's notorious anti-trans bathroom law.
Cooper has struggled to make good on his promise as Republicans in the state legislature opposed repealing the law. On Thursday, Republicans and Democrats came together to vote for HB142, just before the deadline it had been given by the NCAA, which is boycotting the state. LGBTQ groups are calling the replacement law a "scam."
It appears the bill was pushed through in an effort to lure back the basketball association, which said it would not allow North Carolina to host upcoming college championship games unless there were changes to the law made by Thursday.
HB2 required that transgender and non-confirming people use bathrooms in government facilities according to the sex assigned on their birth certificate and threatened to cost the state billions in lost revenue due to protests from businesses and sports teams. HB142 puts state legislators in charge of regulating public multi-stall bathrooms. That prohibits local officials from passing any bathroom regulations or anti-discrimination protections until 2020 which, they say, would give time for related court cases to be played out.
In other words, the bill removes the offending bathroom rule about birth certificates but also ensures no protections for the LGBTQ community will be enacted, unless approved by the state legislature.
Major LGBTQ rights groups and their allies were outraged, and they made it known on Twitter.
The remixed #HB2 is incendiary & about more than bathrooms. It blocks non-discrimination protections til 2020. https://t.co/qPNrCKJw0l

Horrible and fake repeal passes both House and Senate in North Carolina. One signature away from a new nightmare. #RepealHB2

Disappointed the #NCGA just voted for a bill which fails to end LGBT discrimination in a move to put basketball over civil rights. #ncpol

Dear @NC_Governor, my family & friends turned out in droves to elect you based on expectation of a complete #HB2 repeal. We're watching you.

1) How the #HB2 "replacement" bill is not just HB2
2) How this helps LGBT in NC
Every lawmaker who supported #HB2 "deal" has betrayed the LGBTQ community. Discrimination remains legal under new dangerous law. #NCpol

I can represent my country in sports, yet I'm not safe or protected in own country to be transgender in public spaces. #TeamUSA #HB2 #HB142 pic.twitter.com/wY8UKz6byO
