BREAKING Utah Legislature votes to override Gov. Cox's veto of the transgender sports bill
POLL: Do you support the legislature's veto override of the transgender sports bill?
The commission idea was backed by Governor Spencer Cox, though neither social conservatives or LGBTQ rights groups were thrilled with it. Groups like the Utah Eagle Forum successfully lobbied for a last-minute floor amendment instituting a ban on the final night of the 2022 legislative session. The legislature will now meet in a special session to consider House Bill 3001, which offers legal protections for school districts in the event of a lawsuit.
