Kansas Senate overrides governor's veto of bill banning gender affirming care for minors

The Kansas Legislature has overridden Governor Laura Kelly's veto of a bill banning gender-reassignment procedures for minors, with the Senate voting 31-9 and the House 84-35 in favor.
Governor Kelly expressed concerns that the legislation would drive families, businesses, and health care workers out of the state, stating it was not appropriate for Kansas.
Kansas now becomes the 27th state to enact laws restricting such procedures for minors, effective later this month.
The legislation prohibits doctors from providing puberty blockers and hormone therapy, and threatens the medical licenses of those who do.
