Gov. Bill Lee signed a bill prohibiting surgeries and hormone treatments on Thursday.
Lee also signed the first law of its kind in the country that advocates fear severely restricts drag performances on public property, with language prohibiting "adult-oriented" entertainment harmful to children, including by "male and female impersonators." The legislation was filed after a flurry of controversies over drag shows across the state.
