Relating to the statute of limitations on a health care liability claim involving certain gender modification drugs provided to and procedures performed on a minor.

AI Summary

The bill sets a 20-year statute of limitations for these types of claims, rather than the general 10-year statute of repose for health care liability claims. The changes in the law apply only to causes of action that accrue on or after the effective date of September 1, 2023.
