Expansion of transgender athlete ban passes in Texas Senate

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:15:41 GMT

AUSTIN (KXAN) — A bill furthering the state's transgender student-athlete ban officially passed Wednesday in the Texas Senate. The legislation, introduced by Republican Sen. Mayes Middleton and 17 other conservative colleagues, passed by a vote of 19 in favor, 10 in opposition and two present.
