Ban on Federal Funding for Gender Transition Procedures for Detainees and Migrants.
This bill prohibits the use of Federal funds to pay for or refer individuals in the custody of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) or the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for specific gender transition procedures. This means that detainees, including migrants and unaccompanied minors under federal care, would lose access to government-funded surgeries, hormone therapies, and related medical services aimed at gender transition while in federal custody. The consequence is a restriction on access to gender-affirming medical care for this population.
Key points
Funding Cut: Federal money cannot be used to fund or refer for gender transition surgeries, hormone treatments (including puberty blockers), or cosmetic procedures intended to feminize or masculinize features.
Scope of Impact: The ban applies specifically to individuals held in the custody of DHS (like immigration detention centers) and HHS (like facilities for unaccompanied minors).
Detailed Procedures: The law explicitly defines prohibited procedures, listing various surgeries (e.g., mastectomy, hysterectomy, phalloplasty) and the administration of hormones at doses exceeding norms for the sex assigned at birth.
