Protecting Minors from Gender Transition Procedures: New Rules and Accountability
This act allows individuals who underwent gender transition procedures before age 18 to sue medical practitioners for resulting harm. It aims to protect minors from procedures with potentially long-term consequences. Additionally, the act safeguards medical practitioners' right to refuse performing such procedures and withholds federal funding from states that mandate them.
Key points
Individuals who received gender transition procedures before age 18 can sue medical practitioners for injuries up to 30 years after turning 18.
Medical practitioners are not required to perform gender transition procedures, protecting their freedom of conscience.
States that mandate medical practitioners to perform gender transition procedures will lose federal health funding.
The act defines gender transition procedures as puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, or surgeries, with exceptions for certain medical conditions.
