Protecting Parental Rights: Opposition to Minor Gender Transition and State Funding.
This bill aims to protect parents who oppose medical or social changes related to their minor child's gender identity. States that discriminate against these parents risk losing federal funding designated for child abuse prevention programs. This measure ensures that parental decisions regarding a minor's transition treatment or social affirmation are shielded from state adverse actions.
Key points
States will lose federal child protection funding (CAPTA) if they discriminate against parents who oppose gender transition for their minor children.
Parents gain the right to sue the federal government to stop funding to states that violate their opposition to medical interventions or social changes (like name/pronoun use) for their child.
The protection covers parental opposition to all medical, surgical, pharmacological, psychological, or social changes related to gender identity inconsistent with the minor's biological sex.
