Bill > S514

This bill, the Youth Health Protection Act, prohibits certain medical procedures and treatments related to gender transition for minors, such as puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and gender-affirming surgeries. It also protects the rights of parents to withhold consent for any treatment or service that aims to change a minor's gender identity or expression. The bill establishes civil penalties for medical professionals who engage in the prohibited practices, and provides whistleblower protections for individuals who report violations. Additionally, the bill preempts political subdivisions from enacting any measures that interfere with the professional conduct of mental health care providers, and prohibits the use of state funds for gender transition procedures.
