Federal Agencies Review Aid to North Carolina After Passage of Anti-LGBT Bill

HeadlineApr 05, 2016

The state of North Carolina could lose billions of dollars in federal funding for schools, highways and housing following the signing of an anti-LGBT law. Known as the “bathroom bill,” HB 2 bars North Carolina cities and towns from passing laws prohibiting discrimination against LGBT people in public accommodations. The Departments of Education, Transportation, Labor, Housing and Urban Development, and Health and Human Services are all conducting reviews to determine if North Carolina is still eligible for federal funding.
