Opponents of Montgomery County’s new transgender law submitted their first batch of signatures this week for a referendum to overturn the protections approved by the County Council in November.
Michelle Turner, a spokeswoman for Citizens for a Responsible Government, said Monday that the group had collected at least 15,000 signatures.
To get on the ballot in November, sponsors are required to present the Board of Elections with 12,500 signatures Feb. 4 and another 12,500 on Feb. 16.
