AI Summary

This bill, effective July 1, 2026, prohibits the use of "public funds" – which are defined as state money from any source, including appropriations, fees, or fines – to directly or indirectly support any entity, individual, or healthcare provider that offers or refers for "gender transition procedures," a term that refers to medical interventions related to gender identity and is defined elsewhere in Oklahoma law. Furthermore, the bill prevents state, county, or local government-owned healthcare facilities or healthcare providers employed by these government entities from providing or referring for gender transition procedures, with violations potentially leading to disciplinary action up to termination for employees and misdemeanor charges, including fines and jail time, for healthcare providers.
