AI Summary
This bill amends the Civil Practice and Remedies Code to establish a special statute of limitations for health care liability claims involving the provision of puberty suppression drugs or gender transition procedures to minors. Specifically, the bill allows minors to bring such claims up until their 25th birthday, rather than the standard 2-year or 10-year statute of limitations that applies to other health care liability claims. The bill applies to causes of action accruing on or after September 1, 2023.
