It looks like @jenni4iowa.bsky.social is live posting judiciary committee hearing for what was HSB242 to change Iowa civil rights code to punish trans people:
"If you want to be remembered for taking away the rights of our transgender citizens, I have to tell you, you make me very sad."
D Rep says this IS an economic dev bill, "just not the kind we like." He reads from a letter from trans person who says bill "makes it unsafe for me to live in Iowa."

HSB242 doesn't make Iowa's schools #1 again.
It doesn't feed Iowans, or clothe them, or house then.
It doesn't lower costs, and it DOESN'T FIX A PROBLEM.

Obviously state Republicans are now proposing to amend the Iowa Civil Rights Act to eliminate gender as a protected category.

Word in the hallway is that HSB242 passed out of the subcommittee. Chants have picked back up in the rotunda. I had heard Thursday for the House Committee but apparently it's being held later today?? That seems like an antagonism.

Do you want to know how stupid the #Iowa #hsb242 bill is?
This is me. I will be legally mandated to use women's bathrooms, changing rooms, and other facilities of Iowa passes this law. I'm sure the women- excuse me, 'large gamete producers' of Iowa will feel SO much safer.

Today the Iowa legislature passed HSB242 which strips protections for transgender people from the Iowa Civil Rights Act. It is reprehensible on a human level. We get this ONE place. We get this ONE single and too-short life. And this is what we do

Reject Iowa HSB242: Protect LGBTQ+ Rights and Equality
Text SIGN PVSVNM to 50409 — This cruel legislation, the Iowa Civil Rights Removal Act (HSB242), aims to erase the basic rights and protections of transgender Iowans. It strips away critical anti-discrimination safeguards, imposes harsh restrictions on birth certificates and restrooms, and redefines sex in a way that legally erases the existence of transgender individuals. This bill sets a dangerous precedent and creates unnecessary complications for many Iowans. All people deserve to be treated fairly and equally under the law, regardless of their gender identity or expression. Transgender Iowans are our neighbors, colleagues, and community members who should have the same opportunities to earn a living, access housing, and participate in society without facing discrimination. Removing these basic protections not only harms transgender individuals but also jeopardizes broader sex discrimination protections for women. I urge you to reject HSB242 and uphold the principles of equality and non-discrimination that should be extended to all Iowans. This harmful legislation promotes intolerance and undermines the values of inclusivity and respect that our state should embody. Please stand on the right side of history and ensure that the rights and dignity of all Iowans, including the transgender community, are protected.

People in favor of the bill to strip the civil rights of trans Iowans made up just 12% of those who registered to speak (20 PRO vs 147 CON), yet they were given 50% of the time to be heard.

Vote no on HSB242. It rolls back protections against discrimination, harming vulnerable communities and undermining fairness. This bill weakens civil rights, allowing bias in housing, employment, and services. Iowa thrives on inclusivity and must stand against this harmful legislation.
