According to my sources on Capitol Hill and the Senate Democrats page, the moves will be made today for final passage of S. 815, the trans inclusive Employment and Non Discrimination Act (ENDA) According to the Senate Democrats page, at 11:45 AM EST, there will be two roll call votes in relation to the following:
Toomey amendment #2013 (broadens the number of groups covered under the religious exemption) (60-vote threshold) and (the committee-reported substitute amendment will be agreed to by unanimous consent)
Motion to invoke cloture on S.815, ENDA, as amended
(TransGriot update: Passed on a 64-34 YEA vote)
If cloture is invoked, there will be a third roll call vote at 1:45 PM EST on passage of S.815, ENDA, as amended.
(ENDA passed the final vote 64-32!)
Will history be made today? You may wish to tune into C-SPAN 2 to find out.
