Tennessee Republican lawmakers on Thursday advanced legislation that would prevent transgender people from changing their driver’s licenses and birth certificates, a move that officials warn could cost the state millions in federal funding.
“In my view, this body should do what’s right regardless of the cost,” said Republican Rep. Gino Bulso, the bill’s sponsor. “I don’t care what it costs to do what’s right.”
Legislative officials tasked with calculating the fiscal impact of bills have stated that Bulso’s bill would likely open the state to “civil litigation and could jeopardize federal funding” because it could conflict with federal rules. While the legislation cleared a House legislative committee on Wednesday, it still has several hurdles to go in both chambers.
