AI Summary

This bill creates the crime of "unlawful gender reassignment service," which prohibits doctors from performing certain gender reassignment surgeries or providing hormone replacement therapy to minors under the age of 18, unless the child was born with a medically verifiable disorder of sexual development. Performing these prohibited procedures would be a severity level 8, person felony. The bill also amends the Kansas statutes to include "violating the provisions of the unlawful gender reassignment service law" as an act of unprofessional conduct for licensed medical professionals, which could result in disciplinary action by the state medical board.
