STATE HOUSE — A deal regarding transgender individuals in places of public accommodation, such as restaurants, locker rooms and pools, was struck Wednesday between House and Senate negotiators.
The compromise (S 2407) would allow transgender individuals to use the facilities that match their gender identity, and not necessarily their anatomical sex.
STATE HOUSE — Just hours after the Supreme Judicial Court cleared the way for a marijuana legalization ballot initiative to go to voters in November, the group working to legalize cannabis turned in what it said is enough signatures to secure its slot on the Nov. 8 ballot.
Just after noon, the campaign handed in to the secretary of state's office the last of more than 25,000 signatures — 10,792 of which must be certified to guarantee the question a place on the ballot.
