A Kansas bill that would bar transgender people from using public bathrooms or changing their name or gender on their driver's license cleared the Senate Tuesday.
A Kansas bill that would bar transgender people from using public bathrooms or changing their name or gender on their driver's license cleared the GOP-controlled legislature on Tuesday by margins suggesting backers could override Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly's expected veto.
The sweeping transgender bill, one of the broadest of its kind in the nation, is among several hundred measures aimed at rolling back LGBTQ rights pursued by Republicans this year across the United States. The Kansas bill's supporters framed their measure as a proposed"Women's Bill of Rights," similar to measures introduced in Congress and at least five other states. It was based on language circulated by several national anti-trans groups.
The state Senate vote on Tuesday approved a version of the bill passed by the House last week, advancing it to the governor's desk. one vote shy of the two-thirds majority necessary to override a veto, but one conservative Republican who is likely to support the bill was absent. The measure now headed to Kelly would declare that legally,"sex" means"biological" sex,"either male or female, at birth." It says females have a reproductive system"developed to produce ova," while males have one"developed to fertilize the ova."
