If a bill is vetoed by the governor, the legislature may still vote to override that veto, in which case the bill would become law. 4Defeated: The bill is vetoed by the governor, didn't get enough votes, or is withdrawn. In Court: A lawsuit has been filed challenging the bill. Click “View case info” under the status text to learn more. |

President Donald Trump’s assault on transgender rights is a gross overreach of presidential power and yet another attempt to punish trans people just for existing.
In Our Words
The end goal of anti-trans legislation is denying transgender people the words to describe our experience, the means to express it safely, and the community and support we all deserve.
