AI Summary
This bill, known as the "Youth Health Protection Act," enacts several provisions related to healthcare services provided to minors in Tennessee. It prohibits certain practices, such as gender transition procedures, that are intended to facilitate a minor's desire to present or appear in a manner inconsistent with their biological sex. The bill also protects the rights of parents to withhold consent for treatments or services related to gender identity, and it includes whistleblower protections and civil remedies for violations. Additionally, the bill preempts local governments from enacting measures that interfere with the professional conduct of mental healthcare providers, and it limits the use of state funds for gender transition procedures.
