Democratic aides said Thursday that the Employment Non-Discrimination Act is still headed for a vote, but they continue to be concerned about Republicans offering what’s known as a “motion to recommit” to the legislation that might torpedo the bill or reduce its transgender protections.
A Democratic leadership aide noted that Republicans recently offered such motions on two job creations bills, the Home Star bill and the America COMPETES reauthorization bill. In both cases, the motions passed but had different effects on the legislation.
