CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) Transgender females in West Virginia would be banned from competing in female sports in middle and high schools and colleges under a bill that narrowly won state Senate approval Thursday.
After 90 minutes of passionate debate, the Senate passed the bill on an 18-15 vote. The bill heads back to the House of Delegates to address Senate changes with only a few days left in the regular legislative session.
The House passed a version of the bill earlier that focused on middle and high schools. The college component was added in the Senate version.
