TL;DR Summary

Kansas Governor Laura Kelly vetoed a bill banning transgender athletes from girls' and women's sports for the third year in a row, citing harm to students' mental health and the state's business recruitment efforts. Republicans have the two-thirds majority needed to override the veto, but a few GOP moderates have voted against it in the past. The bill would apply to K-12, club, and college sports and is among dozens of Republican proposals pushing back against transgender rights in statehouses across the U.S.
