Bill > SF63

This bill aims to prevent the use of subpoenas and enforcement of out-of-state laws that interfere with the provision of gender-affirming health care in Minnesota. It amends various statutes related to child custody, temporary emergency jurisdiction, extradition, and arrest without a warrant to ensure that individuals cannot be penalized or removed from the state for allowing a child to receive gender-affirming care or for assisting someone in receiving or providing such care. The bill defines "gender-affirming health care" broadly to include interventions to suppress secondary sex characteristics, align a patient's appearance with their gender identity, alleviate distress from gender dysphoria, and support the exploration and integration of a patient's gender identity.
