South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem will hold a news conference in Sioux Falls this morning (March 22, 2021, at 10:30am CT) to announce a new initiative to defend fairness in women’s sports.
Last week, Noem issued a Style and Form Veto on HB 1217— a bill that bans transgender females from participating on girls sports teams. Her veto provides a handful of lengthy suggestions for how state legislators should change the bill to address potential unintended consequences of the legislation as originally passed.
Noem’s announcement today will include participation from 4-time LPGA Player of the Year Nancy Lopez, former NFL football player Jack Brewer and other athletes.
