thehill.com/homenews/lgbtq/4591572-kansas-governor-vetoes-bill-banning-gender-affirming-care-to-minors/
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: New EPA Rule Mandates 218 US Chemical Plants to Reduce Toxic Emissions
- A new rule from the Environmental Protection Agency will require over 200 chemical plants nationwide to reduce toxic emissions likely to cause cancer. This rule advances President Joe Biden's commitment to environmental justice by providing crucial health protections for communities burdened by industrial pollution from ethylene oxide, chloroprene, and other dangerous chemicals.
- The rule will significantly decrease emissions of chloroprene and other pollutants, impacting the Denka Performance Elastomer facility in LaPlace, Louisiana, the largest source of chloroprene emissions in the country. Democratic Representative Troy Carter hailed the new rule as "a monumental step" to safeguard public health and the environment.
- The EPA will cut over 6,200 tons of toxic air pollutants annually and implement fenceline monitoring to address health risks in surrounding communities, promoting environmental justice in Louisiana and other states. Environmental activists see the rule as a victory for environmental justice, representing a significant step towards clean air and safe communities.
- Focusing on toxic emissions, the rule provides protection for communities that have suffered from underregulated emissions. The introduction of fenceline monitoring for six toxic air pollutants is crucial for ensuring accountability and transparency. This rule marks a significant stride towards a more just and equitable environmental protection framework.
