Bill > HR6876

This bill, titled the "Protecting Children from Foreign Mutilation Act," proposes to impose visa sanctions on foreign individuals who perform or facilitate "chemical or surgical mutilations" on United States minors, defined as individuals under 18 years old who are U.S. citizens, nationals, or lawful permanent residents. The bill specifies that "chemical or surgical mutilation" refers to interventions like puberty blockers, sex hormones, or surgeries intended to alter a person's body to no longer correspond to their sex, but it excludes treatments for verifiable disorders of sexual development, injuries, or acute illnesses, as well as "detransition treatment" which aims to reverse or cope with the effects of prior interventions. The President would be required to impose these sanctions, which include making the foreign person inadmissible to the U.S., ineligible for visas, and subject to revocation of any existing visas, unless certain exceptions apply, such as complying with international obligations, whistleblowing, or if the President waives the sanction for national security interests. The Secretary of State would establish procedures for submitting information about such foreign persons and would be required to report to Congress on the actions taken under this act.
