An age verification bill in Kansas that is the most extreme in the country has passed both House and Senate and is on its way to the governor’s desk. The bill will make sites with more than 25 percent adult content liable to heavy fines if they don’t verify that visitors are over the age of 18. It also calls being gay “sexual conduct,” which critics say could set up the state for more censorship of LGBT+ citizens.

Article is pay-walled. Does it say how many legislators voted for it?

I highly doubt the democratic governor would sign this bill. Does it have enough to override a veto?

While the Kansas state legislature is almost entirely Republican, they don't tend to override the governor's veto too frequently as they are not as lock step due to having all the power.

Without checking the numbers, this seem like the kind of thing they would let the governor's veto atand so they can use it against her in the next election.

She's term-limited at the end of this term.

Hopefully we've learned our lesson with Brownback.

There is a veto-proof majority. Governor hasn't announced what she plans to do yet
