Gov. Katie Hobbs isn’t going to allow teachers and librarians to be locked up even if they provide sexually explicit materials within a public school or public library.
The legislation crafted by Sen. Jake Hoffman was one of three measures the governor vetoed on Tuesday. The Queen Creek Republican said it was necessary to put some teeth into existing laws on access by minors to certain materials.
Other bills vetoed by Hobbs on Tuesday include:
- Subjecting public entities to lawsuit losses in certain cases where employees committed sexual offenses against minors;
- Requiring the state health department to license out-patient facilities where individuals could get psilocybin-assisted therapy;
- -Mandating that any doctor, health care institution or anyone else who performs gender transition procedures to pay for “detransitioning.”
