Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte (R) on Monday tested positive for Covid-19 and is currently experiencing "mild symptoms," according to a statement from his office, in today's bite-sized hospital and health industry news from Arkansas, Kentucky, and Montana.

• Arkansas: Arkansas on Tuesday became the first state to ban gender-affirming services or surgeries for transgender people under the age of 18. Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R) vetoed the bill on Monday, saying it would create "new standards of legislative interference with physicians and parents as they deal with some of the most complex and sensitive matters involving young people." However, the Arkansas House on Tuesday voted 71-24 and the Senate voted 25-8 to override Hutchinson's veto. The law will take effect 90 days after Arkansas' legislative session ends on April 30 (DeMillo, Associated Press, 4/6; Astor, New York Times, 4/6; Maher, Wall Street Journal, 4/6; Trotta, Reuters, 4/6).
