ND Senate votes 27-19 to pass SB 2278
February 20, 2009 by admin
The Senate voted 27-19 to pass SB 2278 as amended. If passed by the House and signed by the Governor, the bill would prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation & gender identity in North Dakota.
It was a great win and a significant margin. Thank you to everyone who contacted Senators.
Now SB 2278 moves onto the House where the process starts all over again. This time we lobby Representatives, and things will move much faster.
We will send out a message as soon as SB 2278 is assigned to a committee — then we can once again show our legislators how important this legislation is. Please don’t e-mail your Representative yet.
In the meantime:
* Spread the word to your family & friends
* E-mail your Senator to express your thanks for a ‘Yea’ vote or disappointment in a ‘Nay’ vote
(The Senate vote record is posted below)
Congratulations on a great grassroots effort in support of this bill!
