Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said he will not sign a bill passed Friday banning transgender student-athletes from competing in sports aligned with their gender identity.
House Bill 11 passed both chambers of the Utah legislature in the last hours of the 2022 legislative session after a last-minute amendment left LGBTQ rights activists “blindsided” and “devastated.”
“HB11 has been amended to become a total ban on transgender youth in school sports,” Equality Utah said in a statement Friday afternoon.
