TOPEKA, Kan. — The Kansas Senate passed a bill Tuesday banning transgender athletes from girls and women's sports in schools, achieving a veto-proof majority for virtually the same measure that fell short last year.
Republican John Doll of Garden City flipped his 2021 "no" vote to "yes," giving the Senate a 27-12 margin and the two-thirds majority needed to override the veto that Gov. Laura Kelly delivered last year.
Doll was not immediately available Tuesday to explain his vote.
