The measure would even allow agencies to refuse to place foster children with members of their own extended families &#8212; a practice often considered to be in the best interest of the child. A qualified, loving LGBTQ grandparent, for example, could be deemed unsuitable under the proposed law. The Alabama legislature is on break now until the first of April.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Arkansas<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After introducing a slew of anti-LGBTQ bills on the last day of bill filing, Arkansas lawmakers continued last week to go after LGBTQ people.\u00a0On Wednesday, a senate judiciary committee held a hearing around\u00a0SB 774, an anti-<a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/offers.cam4tracking.com\/aff_c?offer_id=125&#38;aff_id=2778&#38;source=gfcsb\">trans<\/a> bill reminiscent of provisions of HB2 that would restrict the use of restroom and locker room facilities in public buildings to a single <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a>, defined as \u201ca person\u2019s immutable biological <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a> as objectively determined by anatomy and genetics existing at the time of birth.\u201d And\u00a0on Friday,\u00a0HB 1986 passed out of the House.

Meanwhile, both HB1894 and HB1628 failed in committee.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kentucky<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Friday, Governor Bivens\u00a0signed SB 17 into law, making it the second anti-LGBTQ bill to be enacted in the 2017 legislative session. This legislation will allow student groups at public high schools, colleges and universities to discriminate against LGBTQ students and use public funds to do so.<\/p>\n<p><strong>New Mexico\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Last week,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.hrc.org\/blog\/new-mexico-legislature-sends-bill-to-protect-youth-from-so-called-conversio\" target=\"_blank\">the New Mexico legislature passed a bill banning so-called \u201cconversion therapy\u201d for minors.<\/a>\u00a0After clearing the Senate last month, the bill, SB 121, passed through the House by a vote of 44-23 and will now head to the governor\u2019s desk.<\/p>\n<p><strong>North Carolina<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Even with the NCAA Men\u2019s and Women\u2019s Basketball Championships underway, the North Carolina legislature continues their inertia in addressing HB2.

Bills include:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>HB 888, a bill that would deny transgender students access to the correct bathrooms and locker rooms at both K-12 and public universities in Tennessee. It was deferred yesterday to next week&#8217;s calendar of the Education Administration &#038; Planning subcommittee.<\/li>\n<li>Today, SB 771, the companion anti-transgender bathroom and locker room bill, was heard in the Senate Education Committee. The bill\u00a0failed in the Senate Education committee; failing to receive a motion to be heard. The House companion, HB 888, will be heard next week.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>HB 892, known as the \u201cTN Natural Marriage Defense Act,\u201d a bill that seeks to defy the Supreme Court of the United States ruling in\u00a0<em>Obergefell v.
