A bill prohibiting transgender children from using restrooms that correspond with their gender identification was signed by Ohio Governor Mike DeWine on Wednesday. By a party-line vote of 24–7, the Republican-majority state Senate advanced SB 104, popularly referred to as the Protect All Students Act.
