EDS: Clients who used a Cronkite News story slugged BC-CNS Arizona Transgender Bills that moved Friday, March 4, under a PHOENIX dateline are asked to run the following correction. The error occurred in the section labeled “Bills that have passed in one chamber.” A corrected version of the story has been posted here with the reference to HB 2495 updated and moved further down.

PHOENIX – A March 4 Cronkite News story on Arizona bills that could affect transgender youth incorrectly stated the status of an amendment to HB 2495, which would ban “sexually explicit materials” from school classrooms. The House bill was amended to remove “homosexuality” from the definition of sexual conduct and does not specifically target gender identity or sexual orientation.
