JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Missouri Senate advanced a pair of bills to prohibit gender transitioning health care treatments for minors and restrict them from competing in sports, a hard-fought GOP win Tuesday following intense pressure from protesters to act. The Senate votes came after an all-night session of closed-door negotiations and only after Republican lawmakers agreed not to prohibit transitions already in process, and to let the measures expire in 2027. 'What we got is a good start,' said Republican Sen.
