Utah Legislature overrides governor’s veto of transgender sports ban (unknown)

Ahead of the Utah Legislature's vote to override Gov. Spencer Cox's veto of a bill banning transgender girls from female school sports, Salt Lake City Mayor ...

“Transgender children across Utah are looking to the legislature to answer a more fundamental question: Do I belong here?” Gill said. “Denying transgender youth the right to participate in sports is further ostracizing and harming them. ... I hope that the NBA understands ... that our intent here is to protect women’s sports and keep women’s sports safe and competitive.” “We’d also like to know what their thoughts are and how the NBA believes we can protect women’s sports and what ideas they would have that we could implement to help manage this difficult situation,” he said. “Plus you have to think about safety too.” Teresa Cutler said she came to support HB11 “because girls need to be able to feel safe in their sports. Some lawmakers including Birkeland attended the rally, telling their supporters they were there to defend the integrity and safety of women’s sports. As a fiscal conservative I cannot vote for a bill to throw away tax dollars in a losing lawsuit or to cost the state in economic opportunities all while only serving as a message of hate while being mired in court. This is decidedly not ‘The Utah Way’ and I’m ashamed at the way some of our state’s leaders are playing politics with children’s lives.” The bill to indemnify enforcement of the ban now goes to the governor for consideration. “Litigation to stop HB11 from taking effect is now both necessary and inevitable to ensure Constitutional promises of equal protection for all Utahns.” After passionate debate and protests from Democrats, the House voted 56-18, the supermajority needed, to override Cox’s veto.

Utah Legislature Overrides Gov. Cox’s Veto of Anti-Trans Sports Ban (unknown)

Governor's Veto Noted Only Four Transgender Athletes Playing High School Sports in Utah. Salt Lake City, Utah – Today, the Utah House and Senate overrode ...

Another poll conducted by the Human Rights Campaign & Hart Research Group revealed that, with respect to transgender youth participation in sports, the public’s strong inclination is on the side of fairness and equality for transgender student athletes. Four of the largest U.S. food companies also condemned “dangerous, discriminatory legislation that serves as an attack on LGBTQ+ individuals, particularly transgender and nonbinary people,” and the Walton Family Foundation issued a statement expressing “alarm” at the trend of anti-transgender legislation that recently became law in Arkansas. And more than 60 major companies joined HRC to urge Texas Governor Abbott & elected officials across the country to abandon anti-transgender efforts. So do prominent female athletes including Billie Jean King, Megan Rapinoe, and Cheryl Reeve. That’s because while there are real issues facing women’s sports, including a lack of resources devoted to supporting them, transgender participation in athletics is not one of them. As we saw earlier this month, there are real consequences to the discrimination perpetrated upon LGBTQ+ people, and particuarly transgender youth. Caught in the crosshairs of anti-LGBTQ+ elected officials’ divisive political strategy are kids who are simply trying to navigate their adolescence. Of those, at least 130 directly target transgender people and approximately half of those (70+ bills) would ban trans youth from participating in school sports consistent with their gender identity. In 2021, legislators in twelve states enacted anti-LGBTQ+ bills despite failing to provide examples of what exactly they were legislating against. We sincerely thank Gov. Cox for seeing the humanity of transgender youth and speaking out against this discriminatory legislation. For that reason, as much as any other, I have taken this action in the hope that we can continue to work together and find a better way.” In February 2021, Gov. Cox said he would not sign a bill then making its way through the Utah Legislature that would have banned transgender girls from participating in girls K-12 sports. The Utah legislature should focus on the real issues impacting Utahns, not needlessly attack a handful of vulnerable children who pose no threat and just want to play sports with their friends. HB 11 was hastily pushed through the Senate and heavily amended on the last night of Utah’s legislative session, with members of leadership in both houses voting against or not voting.

“I’m a season ticket holder and I’m looking forward to the All-Star Game next year,” Utah House Speaker Brad Wilson, R-Kaysville, said. The inevitable lawsuits and likely reversal of HB11 in the courts won’t undo the harm that the legislature will cause today if it overrides Governor Cox’s veto,” he wrote. “Beyond the field, we always strive for equitable solutions that demonstrate love and compassion for all, especially the youth in our community.” “We are deeply disappointed and saddened at today’s votes by the Utah Legislature to discriminate against transgender youth to exclude them from participating fully on sports teams,” the organization said in a written statement. “The NBA hasn’t talked to me. Our Club remains steadfastly committed to the ‘Soccer for ALL’ tenets of inclusion, respect, and fair play,” RSL said in a statement. “I am grateful the Legislature recognized that there were serious flaws with HB11 and for the heightened debate and input that legislators were able to receive over the past few weeks. “This bill is designed to score political points at the expense of kids who just want to play sports. I struggle to understand so much of it and the science is conflicting. But during final hours of the legislative session earlier this month, the Legislature passed a last-minute amendment to the bill that banned transgender girls from participating in female school sports. It’s political theater, because we won’t get any of the benefits but all of the harms,” Thatcher said while admitting that his “no” vote may cost him his seat. The Senate made swift work of the veto override, moving to a vote with little discussion.

Lawmakers override Cox veto, ban transgender athletes in high school sports (unknown)

SALT LAKE CITY -- As expected, Utah lawmakers convened Friday to overturn a veto of HB 11 that bans transgender athletes from participating in high school.

She said a college swimmer has incorrectly shifted focus to high school sports and it is not the same. And if they have thoughts on how to do that, we’d be happy to chat with them about that.” She also called the UHSAA policy flawed. The NBA and MLB have removed events from cities that passed laws concerning transgender citizens. Cox wrote a five-page letter explaining his veto where he outline financial considerations about the bill and also expressed his concerns of compassion. He said it will not protect Utah’s high school athletes as hoped because none of the other states who have tried to pass “identical” bills have seen them advance past lawsuits. One speaker explained efforts made by Utah lawmakers to prevent youth suicide. The Senate did not have a debate but lawmakers had the chance to explain their vote. That was the whole purpose of title,” she said. When originally passed, it did not have the two-thirds majority needed for a veto override but after the legislative session additional votes were gathered or turned, some have said because of re-election concerns. He said in his letter he doesn’t understand how they feel but simply wants them to live. The GOP-controlled House voted to overturn by a 56-16 mark.
