Bill > HB1

This bill, the Vulnerable Child Compassion and Protection Act (V-CAP), prohibits healthcare providers from performing certain gender-affirming therapies on minors, such as prescribing puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, or performing gender reassignment surgeries. The bill provides exceptions for individuals born with medically verifiable disorders of sex development. It also prohibits school personnel from withholding information from parents about their child's perception that their gender or sex is inconsistent with their biological sex. Violations of the act are considered a Class C felony. The bill is intended to protect vulnerable children from potentially dangerous and irreversible medical interventions, while also ensuring parents have access to information about their child's gender identity.
