Mississippi legislators have passed a bill that would ban transgender athletes from competing in female sports at schools and universities.

The state House voted 81-28 on Wednesday to pass the Mississippi Fairness Act, which cleared the state Senate last month by a vote of 34-9. The bill now heads to the desk of Gov. Tate Reeves, who announced his intent to sign it.
