Kristi Noem signed bill banning trans athletes from school sports teams
State Sen. Zach Walls sharply criticized measure
“SB 46 attempts to solve a problem that doesn't exist- slamming the door shut for Trans student athletes to fully participate”
The legislation would restrict transgender women and girls from playing on school sports teams that match their gender identity
The laws would have potential to inflict considerable harm on Transgender Arizonans and the medical professionals who treat them
Noem’s draft legislation would codify two executive orders – one for K-12 students and the other for the collegiate level.
The lawsuit states the district's reason for denying him access was because he was transgender and "is alleged to have female genitalia"
The International Olympic Committee announced new guidance allowing “every person” to participate & abandons testosterone levels as criteria
"Despite the powerful testimony of trans kids & adults- the emails to the Governor to veto this harmful piece of legislation it is now law"
HB 25 now heads to state Senate
