A closely watched deal to repeal the law fell apart during a December special session amid distrust between Democrats and Republicans. About 10 Republicans in each chamber said they were open to finding a solution but would have to see what's included in a repeal bill. The survey, sent Jan. 19 by email, asked legislators if they would "vote to repeal House Bill 2 in its entirety" if such legislation were introduced. Some Republicans said they will not vote for repeal without leaving part of the bathroom provision intact. He said he expects lawmakers crafting a repeal bill will be cautious to avoid another showdown with local governments.
