South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem is seeking to revive the transgender sports bill that would have banned biological males from participating in women’s sports after the state legislature voted to reject her proposed changes.
The legislative session ended with the bill failing to be enacted after the House voted overwhelmingly 67–2 to reject a series of changes proposed by Noem to House Bill 1217. The governor had sent the bill, which had already passed both chambers, back to the state legislators earlier this month requesting style and form changes before she'd sign it.
