NASHVILLE, Tenn.
— Tennessee's GOP-controlled Statehouse on Thursday gave their final approval to legislation criminalizing adults who help minors receive gender-affirming care without parental consent, clearing the way for the first-in-the-nation proposal to be sent to Gov. Bill Lee's desk for his signature.
Lee, a Republican, hasn't publicly commented on either bill but supporters are confident the governor will sign them into law. Lee eagerly approved both the state's sweeping abortion ban and the state's ban on gender-affirming care for children. He has also never issued a veto during his time as governor.
According to the Human Rights Campaign, Tennessee has enacted more anti-LGBTQ+ laws more than any other state since 2015, identifying more than 20 bills that advanced out of the Legislature over the past few months.
