Kansas legislators have successfully overturned a gubernatorial veto to enact new restroom access restrictions in government facilities throughout the state. The measure became law after lawmakers voted to override Democratic Governor Laura Kelly’s rejection of the legislation.
Under the newly enacted law, biological males will be prohibited from entering women’s restrooms and changing facilities located within government buildings across Kansas. The restrictions take immediate effect statewide.
Republican Representative Carolyn Cayhar defended the legislation, stating: “Our young women deserve to have restrooms and locker rooms where they can undress without men in the room. This bill protects girls and women, the ones feminists used to claim to stand for.”
