Kansas lawmakers have overridden a veto from Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly on a bill that prohibits men who identify as women from accessing restrooms and locker rooms designated for women and girls.
Senate Bill 244 was vetoed by the governor last week. However, the Kansas Senate voted 31-9 to override the veto on Tuesday, while the Kansas House voted 87-37 on Wednesday to do the same.
“The governing body, or chief administrative officer if no governing body exists, of each public building shall designate each multiple-occupancy private space in such building for use only by individuals of one sex,” stated SB 244.
It adds that authorities "shall take every reasonable step to ensure an individual does not enter a multiple-occupancy private space that is designated for use only by individuals of the opposite sex.”
