After hours of testimony and much back and forth, an amendment offered by Representative Mike Jacobs to add anti-discrimination language passed the committee with a vote of 9-8. The bill was immediately tabled with no dissent.

While this does not end the chances of Senate Bill 129 this session, it greatly diminishes its likelihood of passage.

Thank goodness. That is one of the worst pieces of legislation I ever heard of. Several people told me that if that passed they might just pick up and leave and I can't say we wouldn't do the same.

Like what's happening in Indiana right? Salesforce is already scaling back anything involved with Indiana, Gen Con threatened to leave.

I'm really glad the bill got shot down in the house.
