"ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia's state Senate on Tuesday passed a bill that would cut off public funding for gender-affirming care for adults, but the future of the legislation remains cloudy in the state House, one illustration of how the Republican-controlled swing state has been slow to join the blizzard of laws targeting transgender people.
Senators voted 33-19 to pass Senate Bill 39, which would bar state money for gender-affirming care in state employee and university health insurance plans, Medicaid and the prison system.
The measure was pushed by state Sen. Blake Tillery, a Vidalia Republican, who repeatedly characterized the bill as only affecting gender-affirming surgeries for minors until he acknowledged under questioning from Democrats that it actually covers a broad range of care for adults as well. “This bill is saying we’re not going to use state taxpayer dollars to pay for transgender surgeries,” Tillery said. If enacted, the bill would put Georgia, which previously partially banned gender-affirming care for minors, at the forefront of restricting funding for gender-affirming care for adults."

"SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Transgender college students in Utah will be prohibited from living in dorms consistent with their gender identity, under a bill that cleared its final legislative hurdle Monday.
The state House, which had already passed the measure, again approved it with small tweaks following a heated Senate debate in which one Republican told trans people, “If you don’t fit in, then that’s your own fault.” It now heads to the desk of Republican Gov.
Spencer Cox, who has expressed support for the restrictions. Spokesperson Robert Carroll said the governor will closely examine the bill, which passed with veto-proof margins in both chambers.Under the bill, students at the state’s public colleges and universities can only enter or live in a gendered space, such as a dorm building, locker room or bathroom, that corresponds with their sex assigned at birth. Transgender students can otherwise live in single rooms in coed dorm buildings. The bill goes a step beyond existing laws in Utah and 11 other states that bar transgender girls and women from
women’s bathrooms at public schools, and in some cases other government facilities. It would be the first transgender restriction explicitly aimed at university housing, though some states have broad laws that could be interpreted to apply to dorms.
