The measure deals with bathrooms, locker rooms and other facilities, and defines “sex” as “either male or female, at birth,” a move LGBTQ+-rights advocates said would legally erase transgender people
By JOHN HANNA and ANDREW DeMILLO
The final vote came less than two hours after Arkansas lawmakers sent Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders a bathroom bill after scaling it back following complaints it would have criminalized transgender people for simply using a public restroom.
“This will protect women’s spaces currently reserved for women and and men’s spaces,” said House Health Committee Chair Brenda Landwehr, a Wichita Republican who voted for the bill. Kelly vetoed a proposed ban on transgender athletes in girls’ and women’s sports this year for the third straight year. Republican lawmakers in Kansas also are pursuing a bill aimed at stopping gender-affirming care for minors, something at least 11 states have done.
