ACLU: ‘Ready To Litigate’ If Lawmakers Reinstate Transgender Athlete Ban

(Salt Lake City, UT) – The ACLU is warning the Utah Legislature they will face a lengthy court battle if members reinstate the controversial ban on transgender athletes in school sports. Lawmakers are planning to potentially override a decision from Governor Spencer Cox to veto HB 11 tomorrow. ACLU representatives signaled that attorneys are preparing to take legal action if the ban is reinstated, arguing that legislative leaders pushed a plan that threw out a compromise bill.
