The Ohio House of Representatives voted Wednesday to override Republican Gov. Mike DeWine’s veto of a ban on gender-affirming care for minors.

The 65-28 vote comes after the governor announced last month that he would veto the ban because he believes the state should not be making medical decisions for children.

“I continue to believe it is in the best interests of children for these medical decisions to be made by the child’s parents and not by the government,” DeWine said in a statement following the override vote.

The bill will now head to the Republican-led state Senate for another vote.
