flag Kansas Gov. Kelly vetoes restroom bill targeting transgender people, citing harm and flawed drafting.

flag Kansas Governor Laura Kelly vetoed a Republican-backed bill that would have required public restroom use based on sex assigned at birth, citing poor drafting and potential harm to transgender individuals. flag The bill, which included a private right of action allowing lawsuits and financial rewards, aimed to enforce gender-segregated facilities in government buildings, schools, and universities, with penalties including fines and criminal charges. flag Despite strong Republican support and a likely override attempt, Kelly's veto halted the measure, reflecting ongoing national debate over transgender rights and public policy. flag The legislation was part of a broader push in Kansas to restrict transgender access to healthcare and public spaces, including previous laws banning gender-affirming care for minors.
