The clock ran out on the transgender non-discrimination bill on Wednesday but lawmakers said they expect the issue will come up again in the Judiciary Committee next week.
The bill would make it illegal to discriminate based on gender identity and expression. It is facing opposition from the Family Institute of Connecticut, among other groups.
Spurred by a concern raised by the FIC, legislators will offer an amendment that would allow school districts to transfer teachers who are transitioning between genders to another school against their will.
Transgender activists say they will not support such an amendment and are launching an all-out effort to win approval for the bill as drafted.
"We must take this opportunity to remind Judiciary Committee members to vote in favor of our bill as written,'' Jerimarie Liesegang, director of the CT TransAdvocacy Coalition, said in an email. "We will not support a bill that allows anyone to be discriminated against."
