She was referring to SB 233, which passed both chambers of the Kansas Legislature and was vetoed by Gov. Laura Kelly earlier this year. Supporters of the bill plan to attempt to override it when they come back for a veto override session that begins Monday.
The bill would also enact the following:
Prohibit state employees who work with children from advocating for gender-affirming care
Restrict the use of state funds for gender-affirming care
Put healthcare providers at risk for losing their licenses if they violate the law
If the bill becomes law, then Kansas will join about two dozen other states with such bans.
Satterwhite and four others sat down with reporters earlier this month to discuss their experiences and how a ban might affect them and their families.
