A BILL To amend chapter 110 of title 18, United States Code, to prohibit gender-affirming care on minors, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, the Protect Children's Innocence Act, would prohibit "gender-affirming care" on minors, which is defined as certain medical procedures and treatments aimed at changing a person's biological sex. The bill would make it a federal felony to perform these types of gender-affirming care on individuals under the age of 18. It would also prohibit the use of federal funds for any gender-affirming care, including coverage under federal healthcare programs. Additionally, the bill would impact institutions of higher education and immigration, barring those that offer or perform gender-affirming care from receiving certain benefits or facing immigration consequences.
