Local New York lawmakers on Monday voted to pass a bill that would prohibit transgender athletes from competing in girls and women’s sports at county-run facilities.

The legislature on Long Island’s Nassau County voted 12-5 in favor of the measure. The majority Republican lawmakers supported the bill, with two Democrats voting absent.

The approval represented a win for Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman. He first introduced the measure as an executive order, but the county’s Supreme Court ruled that he didn’t have the authority to introduce it as an executive order.

Blakeman ended up passing it through the legislature instead.

"I am gratified that the Republican Majority in the legislature voted in favor of this common sense measure to protect the integrity of women's sports and the safety of women participants," Blakeman said in a statement.

The measure, which covers more than 100 sites just outside New York City, requires any teams, leagues or organizations that seek a permit from the county’s parks and recreation department to "expressly designate" whether they’re for male, female or coed athletes.

Any female teams or leagues will be denied permits if they allow transgender athletes to participate.

In March, Blakeman dispelled any notion that his measure was "transphobic."

"Again, this is not transphobic. It’s not anti-transgender," he told Fox News Digital. "Biological males who identify themselves as transgender females can compete against other biological males, or they can compete in coed leagues. Or if they wanted to form their own league, I would be happy to find a place for them to exercise their right to have recreation and enjoy sports and athletic competition."

Attorneys for Hunter Biden re-submitted a motion requesting a new criminal trial after the first son was found guilty on all charges related to his purchase of a firearm in 2018. 

Biden's defense attorney Abbe Lowell filed the motion Monday, arguing the federal court in Delaware lacked jurisdiction to go to trial earlier this month. The motion comes one week after Lowell filed a similar motion, but quickly withdrew it without explanation. 

Biden was found guilty on June 11 of lying about his drug use when purchasing a firearm in 2018. Specifically, he was found guilty on three charges: making a false statement in the purchase of a gun, making a false statement related to information required to be kept by a federally licensed gun dealer, and possession of a gun by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance.

Biden had pleaded not guilty in the case. 

HUNTER BIDEN FILES AND QUICKLY WITHDRAWS MOTION FOR NEW TRIAL IN CRIMINAL GUN CASE

The case marked the first time in U.S. history that a sitting president's child was on trial.

Prosecutors worked to prove that Biden lied on a federal firearm form, known as ATF Form 4473, in October 2018, when he answered "No" when asked if he is an unlawful user of substances or addicted to controlled substances. 

Biden has a well-documented history of drug abuse, including in his 2021 memoir "Beautiful Things," which was repeatedly referenced by both prosecutors and Biden's defense team during the seven-day trial this month. The memoir walks readers through Biden's highs and lows with addiction to crack cocaine and attempts to get sober.

Lowell did not dispute Biden's long history with substance abuse amid the trial, which also includes an addiction to alcohol. The defense instead argued that on the day Biden bought the Cobra Colt .38, he did not consider himself an active drug addict, citing the first son's stint in rehab ahead of the October 2018 purchase.

Prosecutors, however, argued Biden was addicted to crack cocaine before, during and after he bought the handgun. In addition to citing Biden's memoir, the prosecution team also presented the jury with text messages Biden shared with family and apparent drug dealers to prove his addiction around the time period he purchased the firearm.

Just one day after the gun purchase, prosecutors showed the court that Biden texted Hallie Biden, his sister-in-law turned girlfriend, to say he was "waiting for a dealer named Mookie." A day after that text, he texted that he was "sleeping on a car smoking crack on 4th Street and Rodney" in Wilmington. 

The jury took roughly three hours across two days to reach the guilty verdict. The three charges carry a total maximum prison time of 25 years. Biden, however, is a first-time offender, making it unlikely he will face the full penalties.

He will be sentenced later this year, though no date has yet been issued.

The motion for a new trial comes after The Disciplinary Counsel for Washington, D.C., filed a "notice of discipline" with the D.C. Court of Appeals last week that seeks to suspend Biden's law license in the district following the guilty verdict. 

The D.C. Bar's website still lists Robert Hunter Biden as being in "good standing" and "active" as of Monday afternoon. Biden earned a law degree from Yale University in 1996 and previously worked for law firm Boies Schiller Flexner.
