Bill > HR3247

This bill, called the "SAFE Home Act," amends the Social Security Act to prohibit entities receiving federal assistance that are involved in adoption or foster care placements from discriminating against prospective or current adoptive or foster parents based on specific conditions related to a child's sex and medical treatments. Specifically, the bill prevents these entities from delaying or denying placements if a parent: (1) raises a child in a manner consistent with the child's biological sex, (2) declines to consent to medical, surgical, or psychological treatments aimed at altering a child's sex or gender appearance, or (3) refuses to modify government-issued identification documents to reflect a gender different from the child's biological sex. The bill precisely defines "sex" as biological sex (either male or female), with detailed biological reproductive system descriptions. The amendments will take effect at the start of the first fiscal quarter after the act's enactment, with provisions allowing states time to adjust their legislation if needed. The bill appears designed to protect parents who do not wish to pursue gender transition treatments or documentation changes for children in their care.
