A bill from Montana legislators that would require transgender lawmakers to use the bathroom of their biological sex failed to pass the state House Rules Committee.

Montana has just one transgender state lawmaker, Democrat Zooey Zephyr. The bathroom bill, introduced by Republican state Rep. Jerry Schillinger, was introduced shortly after Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) introduced an identical bill in Congress, after the first transgender member, Rep.-elect Sarah McBride (D-DE), was elected in November.
