House GOP leadership formally censured Rep. Mauree Turner, stripping them of all committee appointments.
House Speaker Charles McCall accused Turner of impeding a law enforcement investigation that led to two arrests after a protestor threw water at a House member and wrestled with a state highway patrol officer in a stairwell following a Feb. 28 vote on HB2177. The bill bans gender-affirming healthcare for minors and eliminates it from insurance coverage for people of any age.
Meanwhile, two Republicans maintain leadership positions in the House despite facing felony charges.
