State transgender-athlete ballot restrictions implementation

Several U.S. states are implementing or counting voter-approved restrictions on transgender students in girls’ school sports.

Nebraska, Arizona, Washington and Colorado approved or were reported approving measures restricting transgender athletes in girls’ school sports. Arizona’s measure also restricts bathroom and locker-room access, while Colorado voters separately considered a ban on gender-confirmation surgery for minors. New reporting says Colorado’s sports measure passed with 52% support, while Washington’s measure remained reported as leading or approved with counting still described in progress.

The measures affect students, schools, athletic associations, families, state officials and courts that may implement or review the restrictions.

• Arizona Proposition 318 passed with 58.9% support. • Nebraska approved a ban on transgender athletes in girls’ sports. • Washington Measure 638 held a 56.8% lead with 62% counted in supplied reporting. • Colorado Proposition 134 passed with 52% support. • Colorado Proposition 135 led 52-48 with roughly 90% counted.
