AI Summary
This bill, the Protecting Children From Experimentation Act of 2021, amends Chapter 110 of Title 18 of the United States Code to prohibit healthcare providers from performing gender reassignment medical interventions, such as surgery or hormone therapy, on minors under the age of 18. The bill includes exceptions for individuals with certain biological characteristics that are ambiguous or do not align with typical male or female sex characteristics. Violating this prohibition would result in fines or up to 5 years in prison, though the person receiving the intervention cannot be prosecuted. The bill also allows individuals who receive such interventions to file civil lawsuits against the providers.
