South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem on March 19 sent a bill that would bar biological males from participating in women’s sports back to state legislators for changes.

Noem, who previously said she was “excited” to sign the bill, expressed concern that the measure in its current form contains “vague and overly broad language” that could have “significant unintended consequences.”
