Pa. Senate approves GOP-authored bill targeting transgender girls, women in school sports

[TexasTowelie]

The Republican-controlled Pennsylvania Senate — after more than an hour of debate on Tuesday — approved legislation prohibiting transgender girls and women from participating in girls’ and women’s school sports.

The upper chamber voted 30-20 along party lines to send the proposal to the House of Representatives for consideration.

“This legislation is about providing these girls with that fair shot to stand at the top of the podium to celebrate their significant achievements as a result of their hard work,” Sen. Kristin Phillips-Hill, R-York, one of the bill’s authors, said on the Senate floor.

Sen. Judy Ward, R-Blair, another prime sponsor, said the legislation has nothing to do with biological sex and instead argued that it aims to “protect” fairness in girls’ and women’s sports.

2. And assuming it gets passed by the State House, it will be vetoed by Gov. Tom Wolf (D)

And they don't have enough to override.

The end.

They need to get a state budget out by July 1st and from what I understand happened with the May 17 election that bubbled under the radar of reporting, was that both long-time GOP Appropriations Chairs (House and Senate), got primaried.
