Quick Glance: Kansas Governor Kelly Blocks Gender Confirmation for Minors
- Kansas Governor Laura Kelly, a Democrat, vetoed a bill on gender confirmation for minors, leading to conflict with Republican state lawmakers.
- The package of measures now goes back to the state Legislature, where the GOP majority is likely to have enough votes to override the governor's veto. Lawmakers are expected to return for a veto session on April 29.
- The proposed measure would ban gender-affirming care for trans and non-binary youth in Kansas, including puberty blockers and surgeries, although surgical procedures on children are rarely performed.
- The law would also allow lawsuits against doctors who would lose their licenses if they provide gender-affirming treatments to minors, and state funds like Medicaid would not be used for such treatments.
