AI Summary
This bill, the Mississippi Save Adolescents from Experimentation (SAFE) Act, prohibits healthcare providers from performing gender transition procedures, including puberty-blocking drugs, cross-sex hormones, and gender reassignment surgeries, on individuals under 18 years of age. It also prohibits the use of public funds for such procedures and bans insurance coverage for gender transition procedures for minors. The bill provides exceptions for certain medically necessary treatments and disorders of sexual development. The act aims to protect the health and safety of minors in Mississippi by addressing concerns about the lack of long-term studies on the risks and benefits of gender transition procedures for children and adolescents.
