Nebraska Governor to Sign Controversial Bills into Law on Monday

Governor Jim Pillen will sign LB 574, which includes the Let them Grow Act and the Preborn Child Protection Act, into law on Monday. The new bans on abortion will immediately go into effect due to the emergency clause attached to the Preborn Child Protection Act. The bill bans abortions at 12 weeks gestational age, with exceptions for rape, incest, and the life of the mother. The bill also includes restrictions on transgender care for anyone under 19, with specifics to be determined by the state's chief medical officer.

Transgender Advocacy and Allyship in the Face of Legislative Threats

Students in Nebraska walked out of classes to protest against the Let Them Grow Act, which would ban gender-affirming medical procedures for anyone under 19. The bill has been advanced to a second round of debate. Students from several schools organized the walkouts and shared how the passage of different bills addressing transgender youth would affect them or their friends. The bill has been criticized by advocates as an attack on transgender people, while State Sen. Kathleen Kauth, who sponsors the bill, said it is for the safety of kids.

Nebraska Legislature Advances Controversial Bills on Transgender Rights.

Nebraska lawmakers advanced the Let Them Grow Act, which would ban gender-affirming procedures for those under age 19, to a second round of debate. The bill also provides for civil penalties for doctors or counselors who offer gender-affirming procedures to those under age 19. State Sens. Megan Hunt and Machaela Cavanaugh have promised to filibuster every bill that comes before lawmakers for the rest of the session. The Nebraska and American Medical Associations oppose the bill, while Republican Gov. Jim Pillen has said he will sign it into law if it reaches his desk.

Nebraska Senator ends 3-week filibuster over anti-trans bill.

State Senator Machaela Cavanaugh has agreed to end her filibuster after an agreement was reached with the Nebraska Legislature. The Let them Grow Act, which prohibits gender-altering procedures for individuals under 19, will be debated on Tuesday. Supporters of the bill say it protects children from making permanent decisions too early in life, while opponents argue it is a form of genocide against Nebraska's LGBTQ children. Cavanaugh previously called on the 23 co-sponsors to remove their names from the bill and launched her filibuster in protest.
