Legislative Progress
Key Points
- Would block federal money from paying for or supporting gender transition-related medical treatments for anyone under 18, with limited exceptions.
- Lets any person, including taxpayers, sue the federal government or agencies they say used federal funds to support these treatments.
- Would cut off federal funding to hospitals, clinics, and other medical institutions if they provide these treatments to minors.
- Adds new parent-consent rules: states could lose certain federal funding if they allow treatment without both parents’ consent or separate families over refusal.
- Sets new legal risks for providers: requires a 72-hour parent meeting and written consent, and allows lawsuits decades later with higher damages in some cases.
