A committee in the South Carolina House has rejected a bill that would have prevented transgender students from playing on girls’ sports teams in middle and high school, reports the A.P.
The House Judiciary Committee tabled the bill Tuesday without a recorded vote, likely dooming any chance it has of passing in 2021.
South Carolina Republican Rep. Micah Caskey of West Columbia made the motion to table the bill, saying supporters failed to show it was a problem that lawmakers needed to solve.
Earlier this month South Carolina Education Superintendent Molly Spearman said the bill would not protect transgender students in a very sensitive personal situation.
The superintendent said she thinks the South Carolina High School League can handle any situations on an individual basis.
