Filibuster Concludes In Missouri Senate After Lawmakers Return From Spring Break
The Missouri Senate has given initial approval to a pair of transgender bills. The proposals would ban transgender athletes from playing female sports and charge medical providers for ‘coercing’ anyone under 18-years-old to undergo a gender transition. During 13 hours of stalling a vote, Democratic Senators Greg Razer and Tracy McCreery address Republican concerns about the bills…
During debate, a measure was added to the Missouri SAFE Act allowing minors, who are already going through the process of transition, to continue. In addition, there was an expiration date added, which gives lawmakers an opportunity to review the law when it would come up for discussion again in 2027. They both need final votes in the Senate before heading to the House.
