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.
