The Democratic-controlled state House censured Libby after finding her viral post identifying a transgender teen athlete violated its code of ethics by putting the student at risk.

The justices granted an emergency reprieve to state Rep. Laurel Libby, who was prohibited from voting while the punishment was in place.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday granted a request from Republican Maine state lawmaker Laurel Libby to restore her voting power for the next legislative session after she was censured earlier this year for expressing opposition to transgender athletes competing in girls sports in a controversial post on X.
