Joint Commission on Administrative Rules Objects To Transgender Policies

Virginia’s Joint Commission on Administrative Rules files an objection to the revised transgender policies authored by Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s administration this fall. The Virginia Mercury reports the commission will now send a formal objection letter to the Virginia Register of Regulations and the Virginia Department of Education. A 2021 federal appeals court decision determined the Gloucester School Board had discriminated against a transgender student by barring him from using the boys’ restroom.
