Part of: House Legislation Targets Federal Funding for Minor Gender Transition Care

StalledNext up: A house committeeNo action in 15 months

The No Harm Act is currently sitting in several House committees where it has not moved since March 2025. Because no action has occurred in over 15 months, the bill is considered stalled. A House committee must review the bill before it can move forward, but it is unlikely to advance.

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.
