Indiana House Speaker Todd Huston and State Rep. Michelle Davis say House Republicans plan to override the governor's veto of House Enrolled Act 1041 - which calls for the banning of trans girls from playing on girls' sports teams.
INDIANAPOLIS — A bill that would have banned transgender girls from playing on girls sports teams was vetoed by Gov. Eric Holcomb Monday.
"The wide-open nature of the grievance provisions in HEA 1041 that apply to all K-12 schools in Indiana makes it unclear about how consistency and fairness will be maintained for parents and students across different counties and school districts," Holcomb wrote in the letter."The presumption of the policy laid out in HEA 1041 is that there is an existing problem in K-12 sports in Indiana that requires further state government intervention.
"I want to make sure that all the opportunities are provided for our young females and we protect the fair competition for them so they have all those possibilities," Davis said when the bill was going through the statehouse. "Throughout the process of this bill, what we've really seen is that these people who stand so much to lose, especially youth ... are still willing to stand up and be strong and be loud," Kit Malone, Advocacy Strategist at the ACLU of Indiana, said."This victory really does belong to those youth who are able to see that they can participate in the process and that there is a path to trans people in Indiana to live an unfettered public life because that is what we want.
