NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A transgender bathroom bill in the Tennessee legislature failed Monday after the House sponsor said she was withdrawing the legislation while waiting to see how legal challenges play out in other states that have passed similar measures.
The bill's demise follows intense lobbying from both supporters and opponents of the measure and questions about potential economic fallout if it were to become law.
Rep. Susan Lynn, the Mount Juliet Republican who sponsored the bill in the House, said she needed to tweak the legislation before bringing it back up again next year.

This one's down for the moment but it's not out as Rep. Lynn intends to bring it up again next year.
