Life & Work
Transgender minors and their families would face severe restrictions on accessing gender-affirming medical care if they live in a state that has banned such procedures. The bill criminalizes traveling to another state where the care is legal, effectively closing off the primary workaround families currently use. This could force families to delay or forgo treatments that major U.S. medical organizations consider appropriate in certain cases, and would expose parents to potential imprisonment for seeking care their doctors recommended.
“Whoever knowingly transports in interstate or foreign commerce, or the offender travels in interstate or foreign commerce or uses the mail or any means, facility, or instrumentality of interstate or foreign commerce in committing or in furtherance of the commission of the offense, a minor to facilitate the minor in obtaining a gender transition procedure shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.”
