Kansas Lawmakers Pass Ban on Puberty Blockers and Hormones for Minors, Democrat Governor Expected to Veto
Both the Kansas House and Senate passed a bill banning sex change hormones and puberty blockers for minors on Wednesday — but Democrat Governor Laura Kelly is expected to veto it.
The legislature passed a similar bill last year, which Kelly also vetoed.
Despite a Republican supermajority, the legislature failed to override Kelly’s veto on that bill and one that would have protected girls’ sports by barring biological males from competing against them.
The Hill reports:
The state Senate on Wednesday passed this year’s bill, Senate Bill 233, with a veto-proof majority, while the House, which advanced the measure in an 82-39 party-line vote, fell slightly short. Two House Republicans that were absent for Wednesday’s vote — state Reps.
