AI Summary
This bill establishes the PROM (Protect Reproductive Organs of Minors) Act, which imposes criminal penalties on healthcare practitioners who perform or cause to be performed certain practices on minors under 18 years old for the purpose of attempting to change the minor's sex or affirm the minor's perception of their sex if it is inconsistent with their biological sex. The prohibited practices include surgical procedures that sterilize, such as castration and hysterectomy, as well as the administration of puberty-blocking medications and supraphysiologic doses of testosterone or estrogen. The bill provides an exception for healthcare practitioners acting in accordance with a good faith medical decision regarding a minor born with a medically verifiable genetic disorder of sex development.
