    if you need a silver lining: this bill only has one sponsor and is not likely to be cosponsored such that it can leave committee, let alone survive a vote and be passed.

    H.B. 3399, if enacted, would likely face immediate lawsuits on the grounds of violating the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause. The bill’s sweeping language could also trigger conflicts with federal anti-discrimination protections in healthcare.
