Utah’s Republican Governor Vows To Veto Bill Protecting Women’s Sports

Utah’s Republican governor has vowed to veto legislation banning biological males from women’s sports.

House Bill 11 would require that student athletes participate in sports based on the biological sex listed on their birth certificate. The legislation passed the state Senate on Friday after passing the state legislature in February.

“I just want them to know that it’s gonna be okay,” Utah Governor Spencer Cox said Friday of transgender students when he vowed to veto the bill, the Associated Press reported. “We’re gonna work through this.”

Cox did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Daily Wire.
