Bill > HB68

This bill adds sexual reassignment to the definition of an abused child in RSA 169-C, the child protection act. Specifically, it defines subjecting a child to drug treatments or surgery to alter the sex they were assigned at birth as a form of child abuse, except in rare cases of ambiguous genitalia, which refers to a medical condition where a child's gender at birth is unclear due to the appearance of their genitals. The bill aims to amend the existing child abuse law to include this new provision, and it will take effect 60 days after passage.
