Bill > SB1094

This bill establishes a new civil liability for physicians who perform irreversible gender reassignment surgery on a minor in violation of another Arizona law (section 32-3230). If a physician provides such surgery to a minor illegally, they can be sued by that individual for damages resulting from the surgery, even if the minor's parents consented. Successful plaintiffs can recover actual damages, including for mental anguish, exemplary damages, court costs, and attorney fees. The bill also sets a lengthy statute of limitations, allowing lawsuits to be filed up to twenty-five years after the individual turns eighteen or four years after they undergo detransition treatment, whichever is later. "Irreversible gender reassignment surgery" and "physician" are defined by referencing the other Arizona law mentioned.
