Rep. Joe Stagni challenges the germaneness of the amendment. Stagni, a Republican, opposes the ban on gender affirming care that was killed last week. (There are still attempts to revive the bill) #lalege #lagov

The amendment is ruled to be not germane to the bill #lalege #lagov

Rep. Alan Seabaugh has also proposed an amendment, this one tying the effective date of Mills’ bill to the effective date of Firment’s ban on gender affirming care for trans youth. The same amendment was put on another of Mills’ proposals last week #lalege #lagov

Seabaugh withdraws the amendment before it is discussed #lalege #lagov

Mills bill is killed on a 52-45 vote.
