This bill, known as the "Youth Health Protection Act," aims to prohibit certain medical practices and healthcare services related to gender transition procedures on minors in Tennessee. It defines key terms like "facility," "healthcare provider," "medical professional," and "minor." The bill prohibits medical procedures that can lead to sterilization or infertility, as well as the administration of certain medications. It also prohibits healthcare providers that receive state funds from performing gender transition procedures on minors. The bill provides exceptions for medically verifiable genetic disorders of sexual development and for minors who had already received such treatments before the effective date of the act. Additionally, the bill protects the rights of parents to withhold consent for treatments related to a child's gender identity or gender dysphoria. The bill also includes provisions for whistleblower protection and civil remedies for violations.
