Anyone actually read the bill? Because, judgement should be made on what she sent back to the legislature & what they sent back & NOT on fee fees based on what the media/govt says is the synopsis of the bill. Anyone here who disagrees with the fact that bullshit is piggybacked into pleasantly titled bills is either stupid or a liar.

Is Noem actually wrong about not trusting this bill? If so, I’m on board with calling her weak. But, based on NO ONE in the comments seeming to have read the damn thing before deciding if someone is worth throwing away, I’m going to research for my own damn self & see what I think.

From the article (which it seems like many of you also haven’t read):

Later on Friday, Noem sent the bill back to the South Dakota Legislature with suggestions, citing “vague and overly broad language.”

......

“For example, Section 2 of House Bill 1217 requires a student athlete to verify, each year, that the student ‘is not taking and has not taken, during the preceding twelve months, any performance enhancing drugs, including anabolic steroids,” the governor said, adding:

Presumably, this requirement was included to address a student taking these drugs as a part of a gender transition, but House Bill 1217 is not limited in this way. Rather, if a male student athlete failed to make the football team, and later learned that another student on the team was taking steroids without disclosing it, the student who didn’t make the team would be entitled to sue both the school and the steroid-using student for damages.

“We’re still looking at it, and I probably, in the next two to three days, will come to a decision,” Noem had said in a Thursday interview with the Argus Leader. “It’s a complicated bill, even in that there are parts of it that aren’t written so well.”
