COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) Transgender girls would be banned from playing on girls sports teams under a bill that advanced Wednesday in the Missouri House.
House lawmakers voted 100-51 to add the provision to another bill, sidestepping the more-typical process that requires approval from several committees.
The amended bill still needs two more votes of approval by the full House before it can move to the Senate for consideration, where Democratic House Minority Leader Crystal Quade on Wednesday implied it will face steep odds at this late stage of the legislative session.

Sunshine Week: COVID-19 pandemic redefines public access to government meetings

It wasn t long ago when a public meeting of the city council or state legislature meant the general public could show up to watch and, quite often, speak about proposals and perceived problems.
The coronavirus pandemic has put an end to that in many places, perhaps permanently altering the way the American public interacts with government.
A year after COVID-19 triggered government shutdowns and crowd limitations, more public bodies than ever are livestreaming their meetings for anyone to watch from a computer, television or smartphone. But in some cases, it s become harder for people to actually talk with their elected officials.
