TL;DR Summary

Nebraska state senator Megan Hunt, who has a transgender child, is being investigated for a potential conflict of interest after opposing a bill that would restrict gender-affirming care for minors. The complaint alleges that Hunt has a financial stake in the Let Them Grow Act because her son could receive a financial benefit if the bill fails. Hunt and her supporters have denounced the complaint as harassment, and several senators from both parties have come to her defense. Gender-affirming care is not covered by Nebraska's Medicaid, and the bill has been advanced to a final vote with the support of the governor.
