AN ACT To enact R.S. 40:1079.4, relative to minors and medical and therapeutic procedures and practices; to provide relative to gender therapy; to provide relative to consent; to prohibit consent by a minor to gender therapy; to require parental or other consent under certain circumstances; to provide certain definitions, terms, procedures, conditions, requirements, prohibitions, and effects; and to provide for related matters.

AI Summary

This bill prohibits minors in Louisiana from consenting to gender therapy, which includes counseling, hormone treatments, and gender-related surgery. It requires parental or court-approved consent for a minor to receive gender therapy, with specific procedures outlined depending on the availability and agreement of the parents. The bill defines key terms such as "gender therapy," "minor," and "provider" to clarify the scope and requirements. Providing gender therapy to a minor without the required consent would subject the provider to civil and regulatory liability.
