In his Tuesday signing statement, the Republican Little warned legislators to tread carefully when overriding the will of parents.
Indiana and Idaho this week became the latest states to enact bans on gender-transition medical procedures for minors, an issue that shows no sign of slowing in red-state legislatures despite enormous pushback from transgender rights groups.
Senate Bill 480, which takes effect July 1, allows minors until January to wean off gender-transition drugs. In his signing statement, Mr. Little urged legislators to tread carefully when overriding the will of parents. LGBTQ advocates who had urged Mr. Little to veto House Bill 71 accused him of turning his back on parental rights by denying their children access to “gender-affirming care.”
Terry Schilling, president of American Principles Project, said it was “encouraging to see lawmakers nationwide taking action to protect children from the predatory transgender industry.”
