AI Summary
This bill prohibits healthcare providers from performing or administering medical procedures on minors for the purpose of enabling the minor to identify with or live as an identity inconsistent with their biological sex, or to treat discomfort or distress from a discordance between their sex and asserted identity. The bill defines key terms like "medical procedure," "minor," and "sex," and provides exceptions for treating congenital defects, precocious puberty, disease, or physical injury. It creates a private right of action for minors or their parents to sue healthcare providers who violate the law, and allows the state Attorney General to bring enforcement actions against violators. The bill also requires regulatory authorities to take disciplinary action against healthcare providers who knowingly violate the law.
