AI Summary
This bill, known as the Protecting Children From Experimentation Act of 2023, aims to prohibit healthcare professionals from performing or referring minors (individuals under 18 years old) for any gender transition procedures. The bill defines "gender transition procedures" as medical or surgical services that seek to alter or remove physical or anatomical characteristics typical of an individual's biological sex, or create characteristics resembling a different sex. This includes procedures such as puberty-blocking drugs, cross-sex hormones, and gender transition surgeries. The bill imposes fines and imprisonment for healthcare professionals who violate this prohibition, while providing legal protections for the minors themselves.
