AI Summary
This bill creates a new chapter in the North Dakota Century Code that prohibits certain medical practices against minors. Specifically, it bans health care providers from performing procedures like castration, hysterectomy, or puberty-blocking medication, if the purpose is to change or affirm the minor's perception of their sex when it is inconsistent with their biological sex. Exceptions are provided for minors born with certain genetic disorders of sexual development. Violations of the law's provisions can result in criminal penalties, with harsher punishments for more serious offenses. The bill also declares an emergency, indicating its provisions are intended to take effect immediately upon passage.
