Local teen to testify in support of Crown Act, a bill banning discrimination based on natural hair
FOX 26 Reporter Tiffany Justice has more on the upcoming bill.
Ahead of a House State of Affairs Committee, DeAndre Arnold spoke with FOX 26 about testifying.
Bi-partisan support is growing for a bill being introduced by Representative Rhetta Bowers, called the Crown Act, or House Bill 392. It simply says you cannot discriminate people based on their natural hair, said Rep. Ron Reynolds.
Representative Ron Reynolds says the bill will be a first for the Texas state legislature.
A committee hearing is expected to start 8 a.m. on Thursday.
