New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu on July 19 signed three bills and vetoed one that affect how schools, businesses, and medical establishments should consider transgender-related issues.

The three approved bills keep girls’ sports exclusive to girls, bar those younger than 18 from receiving “genital gender reassignment surgery,” and give parents more control over how, if at all, their children are taught about sex and gender at school.
