Bill > SB10

This bill, the Vulnerable Child Compassion and Protection Act (V-CAP), prohibits healthcare providers from performing certain gender-affirming medical treatments on minors, such as puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and gender-affirming surgeries. It also prohibits school personnel from encouraging minors to withhold information about their gender identity from their parents or from withholding such information themselves. The bill includes exceptions for medically verifiable disorders of sexual development, and violations are considered a Class C felony. The bill aims to protect vulnerable children from potentially irreversible medical interventions while maintaining parental rights and the standard of care for physicians.
