Quick Glance: Debate Over Gender-Affirming Care for Trans Youth in Kansas
- Kansas Governor Laura Kelly vetoed a law that aimed to ban gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth in the state.
- In a message on Friday, Kelly stated that this divisive legislation targets a small group of Kansans by imposing government mandates on them and dictating to parents how to best raise and care for their children.
- She had previously vetoed a similar bill one year ago, and companies have made it clear that they are not interested in doing business with states that discriminate against workers and their families.
- The Republican-backed bill may be able to override the governor's veto and restricts the use of puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and surgeries for minors, with exceptions for specific cases.

Quick Glance: Kansas Governor Kelly Blocks Gender Confirmation for Minors
- Kansas Governor Laura Kelly, a Democrat, vetoed a bill on gender confirmation for minors, leading to conflict with Republican state lawmakers.
- The package of measures now goes back to the state Legislature, where the GOP majority is likely to have enough votes to override the governor's veto. Lawmakers are expected to return for a veto session on April 29.
- The proposed measure would ban gender-affirming care for trans and non-binary youth in Kansas, including puberty blockers and surgeries, although surgical procedures on children are rarely performed.
- The law would also allow lawsuits against doctors who would lose their licenses if they provide gender-affirming treatments to minors, and state funds like Medicaid would not be used for such treatments.

Quick Glance: Magnitude 4.8 Earthquake Rocks New York City and Northeast US
- An unusual East Coast earthquake startled millions from New York to rural New England. Over 42 million people may have felt the midmorning quake with a preliminary magnitude of 4.8.

Engineers emphasized that New York skyscrapers are made of high-strength materials and designed to sway slowly to withstand impacts. Even the delicately placed eggs in a sculpture at a Chinatown art gallery remained unharmed during the quake.
