Arkansas on Tuesday became the first state to outlaw gender reassignment surgeries and hormone treatments for children under the age of 18, after Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, a Republican, vetoed the measure. The House voted 71-24 and Senate voted 25-8 on Tuesday to override his veto. The bill, known as House Bill 1570—or Arkansas SAFE (Save Adolescents From Experimentation) Act—will go into law 90 days after the Arkansas General Assembly goes into recess on April. 30.
