AI Summary

This bill prohibits the use of state funds for gender reassignment procedures, including surgery, drugs, or biologicals, except in the case of intersex individuals. The bill defines "gender reassignment" as a medical intervention to alter a person's primary or secondary sex characteristics, and "intersex person" as someone with inborn chromosomal, gonadal, genital, or endocrine characteristics that are not typical of male or female, or are considered ambiguous or atypical by a medical professional. The bill would take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote in both houses of the Texas legislature, or on September 1, 2023, if it does not receive the necessary votes for immediate effect.
