COLUMBUS—On Wednesday, the Ohio Senate concurred with the Ohio House of Representatives to override Governor Mike DeWine's veto of Substitute House Bill (HB68), which includes the Save Women's Sports Act and the SAFE (Saving Adolescents From Experimentation) Act.

The CCV-backed bill bans sterilizing and experimental transgender medicine on children and protects girls from being forced to compete against boys in K-12 and collegiate athletics.
