Republicans in Kentucky have passed Senate Bill 150, which will ban surgeries and hormone therapies on minors for the purpose of gender transitioning.

The bill, which also includes provisions regarding mandatory sharing of information between schools and parents, along with banning forced use of preferred pronouns by teachers in school, has been delivered to Democrat Governor Andy Beshear. According to CNN, Beshear is opposed to the bill; however, a Republican majority can likely overrule the governor’s veto.
