This Law Firm Publication by Constangy, Brooks, Smith & Prophete, LLP discusses new developments related to the North Carolina "bathroom law" (also known as H.B. 2) that was passed in March 2016 and, among other things, clarified that North Carolina's Equal Employment Practices Act (EEPA) does not recognize wrongful termination claims. On July 18 Governor Pat McCrory signed an amendment to H.B. 2 that restores wrongful termination claims under the EEPA. In addition, a preliminary injunction motion challenging H.B. 2 from taking effect is scheduled to be heard in US district court on August 1, 2016.
