Kansas Gov. Kelly vetoes bid to regulate transgender restroom use

Governor Laura Kelly vetoed a GOP-backed bill that would require sex-segregated restrooms and locker rooms in public buildings, ban changing gender markers on licenses and birth certificates, and impose fines or lawsuits for violations, with limited exceptions for young children and caregivers; supporters say it codifies norms, but Kelly calls it poorly drafted and costly for local governments, and lawmakers may override the veto amid a broader wave of anti-trans legislation in Kansas.
