A trial date for arguments over North Carolina’s House Bill 2 has been set.

A federal court has scheduled the trial in the legal challenge to HB2 for Monday, November 14 – the Monday following Election Day on November 8.

House Bill 2 has placed North Carolina in the national spotlight over the legislation that advocates continue to call the worst piece of anti-LGBT legislation in the nation.

The law requires transgender individuals to use the bathroom and changing facility that matches their birth certificate rather than their gender identity. HB2 also banned localities from extending nondiscrimination policies beyond the statewide policy.

Officials with the American Civil Liberties Union, the ACLU of North Carolina and Lambda Legal are bringing the lawsuit, representing LGBT North Carolinians.

Before the trial date, US District Court Judge Thomas Schroeder will hold arguments on August 1 on a motion for a preliminary injunction that asks the court to stop the enforcement of the HB2 provision regarding bathrooms and changing facilities.

Those groups bringing the lawsuit say that during the full trial, the court will also consider the constitutionality of the remaining portions of HB2.

The groups are arguing the law is unconstitutional because it violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, Title IX of the Education Amendments and the Violence Against Women Act.

HB2 supporters maintain that the law is “common sense” legislation intended to protect North Carolinians.

The United States Department of Justice is also suing North Carolina over the legislation that was passed in a special session in late March. US Attorney General Loretta Lynch called HB2 “state-sponsored discrimination” when announcing the lawsuit.

The federal trial in mid-November will be held in Winston-Salem.
