Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) says she has secured an agreement from the Democratic leadership to introduce the amendment next week on the House floor, after the bill moves through the House Education and Labor Committee on Thursday.

ENDA, was authored by Rep. Barney Frank and originally contained protections for trans people.  Earlier this month Frank removed them, saying the legislation which he has been fighting for for most of his political career would not pass as long as it included gender identity.
