The Louisiana state senate has voted to override Gov. John Bel Edwards' veto of legislation that would block biological males from competing on school and college sports teams designated for females.
The legislation's prohibition targets school athletics that involve state funding.
The Associated Press reported that the state senate's 26-12 veto override vote fell strictly along party lines, with Republican lawmakers voting to back the measure.
"Your opportunity is now to do what you've been led to do by your own conscience," Republican state Sen. Beth Mizell said as she asked lawmakers to vote in favor of overriding the veto, according to The Daily Advertiser. "Without protection women's sports will no longer exist."
