Nebraska court rules voters can decide on anti-trans sports amendment

The Nebraska Supreme Court ruled unanimously that an initiative to bar transgender athletes from girls' and women's sports will stay on the state ballot. Justice Jason Bergevin wrote that the ballot language gives voters enough information, rejecting plaintiff Cara Ullman's claim that it obscures how the amendment would restrict transgender athletes. Nebraska already restricts transgender participation in school sports under a 2025 law signed by Gov. Jim Pillen, and approving the amendment in November would enshrine the ban in the state constitution.
