Bill Summary

Physician standards of practice. Specifies that the provisions prohibiting a physician or practitioner from aiding or abetting in the provision of gender transition procedures to a minor do not prohibit a physician or other practitioner from: (1) releasing a minor's health information to another physician or other practitioner in the course of the receiving practitioner's care of the minor; or (2) discussing a minor's medical history with another physician or other practitioner providing care to the minor.

AI Summary

This bill clarifies existing law by specifying that physicians and other practitioners are not prohibited from sharing a minor's health information or discussing their medical history with other healthcare providers who are involved in the minor's care, even when those providers are subject to restrictions on providing gender transition procedures to minors. The bill aims to ensure that necessary communication between doctors for a minor's treatment can continue without being hindered by the prohibition on aiding or abetting in gender transition procedures for minors.
