WHEREAS, the City's Human Rights Ordinance, codified in Chapter 62 of the City Code, declares that "there is no greater danger to the health, morals, safety and welfare of the city and its inhabitants than the existence of prejudice against one another and antagonistic to each other because of differences of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, intersexuality, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital and familial status, age, or disability," and that "prejudice, intolerance, bigotry and discrimination and disorder occasioned thereby threaten the rights and proper privileges of its inhabitants and menace the very institutions, foundations and bedrock of a free, democratic society"; and WHEREAS, in view of this policy, the City's Human Rights Ordinance prohibits discrimination in employment, public accommodations, housing, and public services, on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, intersexuality, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital and familial status, age, and disability; and WHEREAS, the Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners recently expanded the Miami-Dade County Human Rights Ordinance to prohibit discrimination on the basis of gender identity and gender expression in housing, public accommodations, and employment; and WHEREAS, Florida House Bill 583 (2015), if passed, would require that the use of single-sex public facilities, such as bathrooms, restrooms, dressing rooms, fitting rooms, locker rooms, showers, and other similar facilities, be restricted to persons of the sex for which the facilities are designated; impose criminal penalties on any person who knowingly and willfully enters a single-sex public facility designated for or restricted to persons of the other biological sex; provide for a private cause of action against an individual who enters a single-sex public facility designated for or restricted to persons of the other biological sex; and would preempt cities, counties, municipalities, and other political subdivisions from adopting any law, policy, or decree protecting the right of transgender individuals to use certain single-sex public facilities in accordance with their gender identity; and WHEREAS, the Mayor and City Commission oppose House Bill 583 as it would unfairly discriminate on the basis of gender identity by subjecting transgender individuals to criminal penalties and civil litigation, and by prohibiting cities and counties from protecting the right of transgender individuals to use single-sex public facilities in accordance with their gender identity; and WHEREAS, the Mayor and City Commission deem it in the best interest of the City and its citizens to urge the Florida Legislature to oppose House Bill 583. NOW, THEREFORE, THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, hereby urge the Florida Legislature to oppose House Bill 583 (2015) and direct the City Clerk to transmit this Resolution to Governor Rick Scott, the President of the Florida Senate, the Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives, and the Miami-Dade County Legislative Delegation.
