Kansas governor vetoes ban on gender-affirming care for minors and 2 anti-abortion bills
pbs.org/newshour/politics/kansas-governor-vetoes-ban-on-gender-affirming-care-for-minors-and-2-anti-abortion-bills
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.

apnews.com/article/idaho-transgender-affirming-care-supreme-court-f21e62b9ef8b06ed4ecd301bc4531dfd
Quick Glance: Idaho Can Enforce Ban on Gender-Affirming Care
- The Supreme Court is allowing Idaho to enforce its ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth while ongoing legal battles persist, overturning previous court decisions.
- A court decision enables the state of Idaho to implement a 2023 law that imposes significant penalties on physicians for providing gender-affirming care to individuals under 18 years old.
- The court's three liberal judges would have chosen to suspend the law.
- This action comes as the justices may soon deliberate on whether to address bans in Kentucky and Tennessee enforced amid legal disputes.

Quick Glance: Seattle Children’s to Exit Texas Due to Gender-Affirming Care
- Seattle Children’s Hospital will forego its ability to do business in Texas as part of an agreement with the state’s Attorney General to stop inquiries into gender-affirming care for Texas patients.
- Last year, Attorney General Ken Paxton attempted to compel Seattle Children’s to turn over information about gender-affirming care that Texas patients may have received at the facility. The hospital sued Paxton, stating that the office doesn’t have jurisdiction over patient records in Washington.
- Seattle Children’s will 'voluntarily withdraw its registration to transact business in the State of Texas' by the end of the week. Paxton’s office will rescind its civil investigative demand and its request for a sworn written declaration served to the hospital in November.
- Paxton also requested information on patients from Texas who received gender-affirming care services at the Seattle hospital, including diagnoses details, prescribed medications, and other treatment protocols. Additionally, his office asked for similar records from a telehealth clinic in Georgia.

- German lawmakers approved a law making it easier for transgender, intersex, and nonbinary individuals to change their name and gender in official records.
- The self-determination law will be effective on November 1, allowing adults to change their name and legal gender without additional formalities.
- The new regulations will permit minors aged 14 and above to change their name and gender with parental consent, while parents would apply on behalf of children under 14 at registry offices.
- The reforms also include legalizing limited cannabis possession, easing rules for German citizenship, and ending restrictions on dual citizenship.

Kansas governor vetoes gender-affirming trans care ban: Gov. Laura Kelly vetoed a similar bill last year.
abcnews.go.com/Politics/kansas-governor-vetoes-gender-affirming-trans-care-ban/story
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.
