North Dakota's bill to restrict trans students' pronouns remains vetoed.

An attempt to override North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum's veto of a bill that would restrict the treatment of transgender K-12 students failed to pass in the state House of Representatives. The bill would have barred school districts from creating policies to accommodate transgender students unless parents give explicit permission. LGBTQ advocates and mental health professionals fought against the bill, contending that it singles out transgender youth, who are already at risk of mental health issues. Conservative lawmakers are still considering about a dozen other proposals that would restrict health care, activities, and personal expression for transgender residents.
