Kansas enacts controversial legislation targeting transgender individuals.

TL;DR Summary
The Kansas House has successfully overridden Governor Laura Kelly's veto of a bill banning transgender athletes from women's sports. The "Fairness in Women Sports Act" requires state athletic teams to be designated as either "male," "female," or "coed/mixed." Supporters argue that the bill will level the playing field for women's sports, while opponents argue that it takes aim at the transgender community. The bill passed the Senate last month 28-11, and Republicans needed 27 votes in the Senate to override the governor's veto.
