CTAC has worked with coalitions to help pass the Hate Crime legislation in 2004, in 2011 the Anti-Discrimination legislation, and in 2015 we again worked with the coalition to pass the Birth Certificate bill that will go into effect on October 1<sup>st</sup>.
This year we also worked with the coalition members to defeat a bill that would have stripped us of our insurance coverage. Bill H.B. 5193 stated purpose was,
…health insurance policies delivered, issued for delivery, renewed, amended or continued in this state shall not be required to provide coverage for gender reassignment surgery or related surgical expenses.We will continue supporting legislation that helps and work against bills that are counter to the transgender community.
