AI Summary
This bill, known as the Alabama Vulnerable Child Compassion and Protection Act (V-CAP), prohibits medical professionals from performing various procedures on minors, including prescribing puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and gender-affirming surgeries, if the purpose is to alter the appearance or affirm the minor's perception of their gender or sex, unless the minor was born with a medically verifiable disorder of sex development.
