Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend chapters 191 and 376, RSMo, by adding thereto ten new sections relating to gender transition procedures, with a delayed effective date.
AI Summary
This bill creates the "Missouri's Children Deserve Help Not Harm Act," which prohibits healthcare providers from performing gender transition procedures, including the use of puberty-blocking drugs and cross-sex hormones, on individuals under 18 years of age. It also prohibits the use of public funds for such procedures and prohibits health insurance coverage for these procedures for minors. The bill provides a cause of action for individuals who receive such procedures as minors, allows the Attorney General to enforce compliance, and includes severability provisions to preserve the bill's remaining provisions if any part is found unconstitutional.
