After initially vetoing the plan, DeWine faced backlash and later signed an executive order banning sex-change surgeries for minors, but not other treatments. The legislation does forbid such treatments.
The Ohio Senate on Wednesday voted to override Ohio GOP Gov. Mike DeWine’s veto of restrictions on transgender participation on sports teams and minor receipt of gender-related treatments.
The upper chamber voted 23-9 to override the governor, according to The Hill. The House did so earlier this month in a 65-28 vote, meaning the legislation will become law despite DeWine’s objections.
After initially vetoing the plan, DeWine faced backlash and later signed an executive order banning sex-change surgeries for minors, but not other treatments. The legislation does forbid such treatments.
At least 21 states have banned minor surgeries and treatments, according to the pro-LGBT Movement Advancement Project. A further two, Ohio and Arizona, have only banned surgeries. The Senate vote will result in Ohio joining the other 21.
