Ohio’s Republican-controlled Senate approved legislation Wednesday to bar transgender students from using school restrooms and locker rooms that match their gender identity, sending the measure to Republican Gov.

The Ohio Senate voted 24-7 in favor of the ban, sending the measure to DeWine's desk for signature before it can become law.

DeWine clashed with his fellow Republicans over a different law that bans gender-affirming care for minors and blocks transgender girls and women from playing in female sports. The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio continues to fight the ban on gender-affirming care after a Franklin County judge ruled in August that it could take effect.
