The Louisiana House voted 75-23 to override Gov. John Bel Edwards’ veto on a bill banning doctors from performing gender-reassignment surgeries and prescribing hormones to minors.
The override needs at least 26 votes in the state senate to pass. Jessica Chasmar is a digital writer on the politics team for Fox News and Fox Business. Story tips can be sent to Jessica.Chasmar@fox.com.
Republican state Rep. Gabe Firment, who sponsored the bill, previously described the bill to Fox News Digital as "veto proof" due to GOP majorities in both chambers.
