The GOP-led Kansas House and Senate on Wednesday approved a “bathroom bill” targeting transgender people after House Democrats delayed passage by six hours, proposing multiple amendments to set the stage for a possible legal challenge.
House Substitute for Senate Bill 244 passed on an 87-36 vote along party lines, with one Republican opposed.
That’s what this bill requires.”Other legislators spoke about concerns that the bill would embolden people to attack transgender individuals.
The Judiciary Committee revealed a hearing on House Bill 2426 with less than 24-hour notice.
At a later hearing, the bathroom portion of the bill was added with no advance notice and no chance for public input.
