The Ohio House of Representatives has voted to override Republican Gov. Mike DeWine’s veto of legislation that aims to ban gender-affirming care for minors and restrict transgender females from participating in girls’ and women’s sports.

DeWine vetoed the bill on Dec. 29 and instead signed an executive order on Jan. 5 to ban gender-affirming surgery for anyone under 18 last week.

The Save Adolescents from Experimentation (SAFE) Act and Save Women’s Sports Act override passed on a 65-28 vote Wednesday.

However, the Senate is expected to vote on whether to overturn DeWine’s veto on Jan. 24. Ohio would become the 24th state to have restrictions on transgender athletes if the Senate overturns the veto.
