Henry McMaster signed a bill barring transgender athletes from competing on sports teams that match their gender identity. Lawmakers previously passed another bill, which would grant medical providers and insurance companies the right to refuse to provide any treatments that would violate their religious, moral, ethical, or philosophical beliefs.
