Cooper, House Republican leadership reach last-minute deal to repeal HB2

RALEIGH, N.C. (WBTV) – Gov. Roy Cooper and Republican leadership in the North Carolina House of Representatives reached a tentative agreement to repeal House Bill 2 late Wednesday afternoon.

The deal was being discussed by both Republicans and Democrat House members in their respective caucuses as of 5:30 p.m. Wednesday. It was not immediately clear whether the deal had the support of a majority of either caucus.

Multiple sources tell WBTV the deal reached between Cooper and House Speaker Tim Moore would repeal HB2, re-set bathroom access to pre-HB2 standards and also include a moratorium preventing local governments from passing their own non-discrimination ordinances through at least 2020.

The agreement did not include a referendum requirement on local non-discrimination ordinances nor any language regarding religious freedom, the sources said.

RALEIGH, N.C. — Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger and House Speaker Tim Moore held a 10:30 p.m. press conference Wednesday to announce that an agreement to repeal House Bill 2 has been reached with Gov. Roy Cooper.

House Bill 142, which initially dealt with occupational licensing boards, will be gutted, and the new language inserted before the bill is heard Thursday morning in the Senate Rules Committee.

The bill states that "state agencies, boards, offices, departments, branches of government ... and political subdivisions of the state, including local boards of education are preempted from regulation of access to multiple occupancy restrooms, showers, or changing facilities, except in accordance with an act of the General Assembly."

The proposal also prohibits local governments from enacting or amending ordinances regulating private employment practices or public accommodations until Dec. 1, 2020, which Berger and Moore said would give time for federal lawsuits over transgender rights to be resolved.
