Topeka, KS – Senate President Ty Masterson issued the following statement in response to Governor Laura Kelly’s veto of SB 244, the bill strengthening and clarifying the Women’s Bill of Rights.

“I never thought I’d see the day when our state’s own governor would turn her back on women by forcing them to use bathrooms in public buildings with biological men. Sadly, our governor has decided she will side with they/them over simple, scientific truth,” Masterson said. “Kansans need not worry – the Kansas Senate will restore sanity, and override her veto.”
