BREAKING Gov. Spencer Cox signs school choice and transgender youth bills into Utah law
The governor signed Senate Bill 16 and House Bill 215, issuing statements on both bills.
“Legislation that impacts our most vulnerable youth requires careful consideration and deliberation. While not a perfect bill, we are grateful for Sen. Kennedy’s more nuanced and thoughtful approach to this terribly divisive issue. More and more experts, states and countries around the world are pausing these permanent and life-altering treatments for new patients until more and better research can help determine the long-term consequences," Gov. Cox said in his statement.
On Friday night, a couple dozen LGBTQ youth protested outside the governor's office and urged a veto, arguing SB16 would harm vulnerable transgender youth.
