AL.com, the bill, which already passed in the state Senate, basically ran out the clock on Alabama’s regular legislative session, which ended Monday night.
State Representatives voted on a number of bills all the way up to midnight, but the bill targeting trans youth healthcare, SB10, didn’t come up for a vote before the session adjourned.
The main reason for this is that SB10 was scheduled as the last bill to be debated. The state’s Republican-led House Rules Committee set that schedule ahead of Monday’s session.Regardless of circumstances, advocates and members of Alabama’s trans community celebrated the bill’s failure.
