Critics of Maryland's newly passed transgender rights bill kick off a new effort to get the law overturned.
Monique Griego reports several delegates announced a petition drive against the so-called "bathroom bill."
The group is hoping to get enough signatures to bring the law before voters in November.
But supporters of the bill say this is just another attempt to mislead the public about what the law really allows.

From Baltimore OutLoud, a local online LGBT paper:
