TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly has vetoed conservative Republicans' proposed ban on transgender athletes in girls' and women's sports and a GOP proposal aimed at making it easier for parents to try to remove materials from public school classrooms and libraries.
Neither measure vetoed Friday cleared the Republican-controlled Legislature with the two-thirds majorities in both the House and Senate necessary to override a veto.
Kansas lawmakers are on their annual spring break but are scheduled to reconvene April Kelly argued both were driving by politics.
Republicans say the measure on transgender athletes protects competition and called the other measure a proposed "Parents' Bill of Rights."
