Ethics complaint filed against Nebraska State Sen. Megan Hunt over transgender care bill.

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.

"Nebraska State Senator faces ethics complaint over controversial bills"

A complaint was filed against Nebraska State Senator Megan Hunt alleging a potential conflict of interest on proposed restrictions on gender-affirming care for minors. The complaint argues that Hunt has a stake in LB 574, which would prohibit puberty blockers, hormone therapies, and surgeries for minors. However, multiple lawmakers defended Hunt, stating that the complaint was "out of bounds" and that family members should be off-limits. Hunt and doctors who provide gender-affirming services have said that she does not have a financial stake in the bill.
