Jack Derrick: Money-making HB2

Would it be wise for someone to consider patenting clear plastic birth certificate holders to be worn around the neck or elsewhere (maybe the legislature can be called back into session to enact legislation requiring their wearing and placement) to ensure compliance with the recently passed bathroom law?

Seems there may be money to be made and sales taxes to be paid.

North Carolina may need both if the NCAA and others take their business elsewhere because of enactment of this law.
