By one vote the Senate approves the veto override of legislation banning transgender athletes from playing on girls’ and women’s K-12 and higher ed school sports teams. It was the first vote of the historic veto session that began Tuesday at noon, and the only one of the 28 vetoes issued this year that appears to be on track to be overridden.
The final vote was along party lines with 26 in favor and 12 against. One Senator, Ronnie Johns of Lake Charles, was absent after going on injured reserve following a knee replacement.
Franklinton Senator Beth Mizell, the bill author, opened with a plea that lawmakers vote the way they did in early May when the Senate approved the bill.
