Bill > HR2387

This bill, titled the "No Harm Act," is comprehensive legislation aimed at prohibiting federal funds from being used for sex-trait altering treatments for minors, which includes medical procedures like puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and gender reassignment surgeries. The bill establishes multiple restrictions: it prevents federal funds from paying for or promoting such treatments for individuals under 18, allows civil actions for violations, expands the definition of female genital mutilation, and prohibits federal funding for medical institutions providing these treatments to minors. The bill requires parental consent and consultation before any sex-trait altering treatment, gives parents the right to decline such treatments, and provides legal protections for healthcare providers who choose not to perform these procedures. Additionally, the bill creates extensive medical malpractice liability provisions, allowing individuals to sue for damages up to 30 years after reaching the age of majority if they were harmed by treatments received as a minor. The legislation also includes detailed definitions of terms like "sex-trait altering treatment," "gender," and "gender transition," with specific exceptions for certain medical conditions and emergencies, ultimately seeking to restrict medical interventions related to gender transition for individuals under 18 years old.
