BOISE A bill that bans transgender girls and women from participating in girlsâ and womenâs sports has quickly spread to 30 statehouses across the country after originating in Idaho.
Sponsored by Rep. Barbara Ehardt, R-Idaho Falls, the bill originated in the form of House Bill 500 during the 2020 Idaho legislative session. The Republican supermajority that controls the Legislature passed it, and GOP Gov. Brad Little signed it into law.Â
While states across the U.S. have picked up a version of the bill this year, U.S. District Court Judge David Nye issued an injunction last summer putting Idahoâs law on hold while a lawsuit over the constitutionality of the law plays out.Â
