Both chambers of the Kansas State Legislature have passed a bill to ban men from playing in women’s sports. The legislation now goes to Gov. Laura Kelly’s (D) desk.
Now, the legislation will go to Democrat Gov. Laura Kelly’s desk. Kelly has vetoed two distinct pieces of similar legislation, saying that the bills were “harmful to students and their families” as well as “bad for business.”
But it appears that Republicans now have enough votes to overturn a veto from the governor. The bill needs 84 supporters in the House in order to overturn a veto, and while the legislation only received 82 votes, two Republicans were absent. Meanwhile, supporters of the ban had enough votes in the Senate to override a veto.
