Key Points

  • This bill would require the President to deny US visas and entry to certain foreign medical providers tied to gender transition care for US minors.
  • People targeted could include foreign doctors and owners/operators of clinics, hospitals, or pharmacies that provide puberty blockers, sex hormones, or related surgeries to US minors.
  • It would also automatically revoke existing visas or entry documents for people covered by the bill, even if those visas were issued earlier.
  • The State Department would set up a way for the public to send in information about foreign people who may qualify for these visa sanctions.
  • There are exceptions for certain international obligations, a carve-out for some whistleblowers, and a national security waiver the President can use.
