AI Summary
This bill, known as the Vulnerable Child Protection Act, defines "sex" as the biological state of being female or male based on sex organs, chromosomes, and endogenous hormone profiles. It prohibits health care practitioners from performing certain medical procedures or prescribing certain medications on minors for the purpose of changing or affirming the minor's perception of their sex, if that perception is inconsistent with their biological sex. These prohibited practices include surgeries that result in sterilization, mastectomies, and the administration of puberty-blocking or cross-sex hormones. The bill provides exceptions for health care practitioners acting in accordance with a good faith medical decision for minors born with medically verifiable genetic disorders of sex development.
