Nebraska Legislature Advances Controversial Let Them Grow Act and Gender-Affirming Care Ban.

Nebraska lawmakers were slow to move business on Friday as State Sen. Machaela Cavanaugh continued her filibuster over a bill to ban gender-affirming care for minors. Cavanaugh accused some of her colleagues of making their vote on LB574 about her and not the issue. The bill's sponsor, State Sen. Kathleen Kauth of Omaha, has said she's willing to negotiate, but Cavanaugh and some other senators have questioned whether there have been true efforts to do so. There is one more shot to reach a compromise before the third and final vote.

Nebraska Senator's Filibuster Fails as Trans Health Bill Advances.

Nebraska Senator Machaela Cavanaugh filibustered for three weeks to block a bill that would deny gender-affirming care to trans kids. However, she eventually agreed to move the bill to the top of the agenda last week. The legislation, LB574, would deny patients under the age of 19 access to gender-affirming treatments such as puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and surgery. LB574 is one of 150 anti-trans bills proposed in state legislatures so far this year.
