Arizona's Republican lawmakers approved two bills targeting transgender youth — one regarding sports participation and another on gender reassignment surgery.
Howard Fischer Capitol Media Services The Arizona state House voted twice on Thursday to limit the rights of transgender youths.
But foes pointed out that these decisions already are being made by the Arizona Interscholastic Association, which has a medical advisory panel to examine individual requests by transgender athletes to compete in events limited to how they identify themselves. And just 16 of these requests have been granted.
Both measures now go to Gov. Doug Ducey. But there is some possibility, however, that Ducey could veto the legislation on sports.
