The GOP-controlled House approved a rules package that excludes Rep. Nancy Mace's proposed bathroom ban targeting transgender individuals.
Mace's ban aimed to restrict access to single-sex facilities on federal property, specifically affecting incoming Rep. Sarah McBride, the first transgender woman elected to Congress.
Despite assurances from House Speaker Mike Johnson regarding the ban's inclusion, it was omitted from the finalized rules.
The comprehensive rules package includes measures affecting immigrant rights and attempts to restrict transgender rights in sports and education.
Rep. Pramila Jayapal criticized the package for targeting vulnerable communities without addressing economic issues impacting American families.
