Kansas Passes Controversial Transgender Bathroom Bill and Flat Tax Law.

Kansas has enacted a transgender bathroom bill that defines sex as an "individual's biological sex, either male or female, at birth," and legally defines women and men based on their reproductive systems. The bill applies to school restrooms, locker rooms, prisons, domestic violence shelters, and rape crisis centers. The measure has been criticized for being too broad and difficult to enforce, and some LGBTQ activists argue that it could legally write transgender people out of state law. Governor Laura Kelly vetoed the bill, along with three other bills targeting the rights of transgender young people, citing concerns about economic impact and legal challenges.
