Bill > SF744

This bill proposes to prohibit licensed healthcare providers from performing specific medical treatments for minors diagnosed with gender dysphoria. Specifically, the bill would ban healthcare providers from performing sex reassignment surgeries that alter primary or secondary sexual characteristics and from prescribing, dispensing, or administering puberty-blocking hormones or hormone antagonist therapies to minors. The bill includes a narrow exception that allows healthcare providers to continue existing hormone treatments for minors who are already receiving such therapies at the time the law takes effect. Gender dysphoria is a medical condition where an individual experiences significant distress due to a mismatch between their gender identity and their sex assigned at birth. The bill would effectively prevent healthcare providers from offering certain medical interventions to transgender or gender-questioning minors, potentially impacting their medical treatment options. The legislation would become effective the day after it is enacted, and it would be added to Minnesota's health statutes under a new section.
