Governor Ayotte: Veto SB 268
Soon, SB 268 will reach Governor Kelly Ayotte’s desk. This bill, which has passed both the Senate and the House, seeks to legalize discrimination for bathrooms, locker rooms, sports, and prisons on the basis of "biological sex" as defined as only "male" and "female,” completely erasing the scientific reality of intersex individuals. The fight’s not over.
This bill, which is incredibly similar to last year's "bathroom ban" HB148. Despite also passing the House and Senate, HB148 was vetoed by the Governor, who believed the bill to be unenforceable. The House attempted to overturn the Governor’s veto, but failed to achieve the super-majority needed
Write to Governor Ayotte and tell her that SB 268 creates enforceability, privacy, and safety concerns for all in the Granite state, and just like HB 148, it needs to be vetoed.
