Ohio House GOP Overrides Gov. Veto on Anti-Trans Healthcare and Sports Bill

HeadlineJan 11, 2024

In Ohio, Republican House legislators voted Wednesday to overturn Republican Governor Mike DeWine’s veto of legislation that would ban gender-affirming healthcare for transgender youth and bar trans athletes from playing on school sports teams. Three-fifths of the Ohio Senate must also vote to override DeWine’s veto for the bill to become law. The ACLU of Ohio slammed state Republicans, saying, “This state-sponsored vendetta against some of Ohio’s most vulnerable young people is beyond cruel.”
