he Senate voted on Wednesday to pass
the $895 billion Defense Authorization Bill,
despite a provision on transgender care that caused concern among
some Democrats, sending it to
President Biden’s desk for final approval.
The National Defense Authorization Act
(NDAA) was approved 85 to 14 by senators,
surpassing the 60 votes needed in the 100-member chamber.
The bill moved forward even with the inclusion of a controversial measure
that would ban certain gender-affirming care for
transgender children of service members, The Hill reported.
