Bill > HB1128

This bill establishes a legal deadline for individuals to file lawsuits related to "youth gender transition procedures," which are defined as medical processes performed before the age of 26 to alter an individual's anatomy, physiology, or mental state to align with a sex different from their biological sex, including surgeries, hormone treatments, and counseling, but excluding male circumcision and procedures for disorders of sex development. Specifically, any claim for damages resulting from intentional or negligent acts by a "provider" – defined as any physician, surgeon, endocrinologist, mental health professional, clinic, hospital, or other entity involved in recommending, approving, or providing such procedures – must be brought before the individual reaches 38 years old, regardless of other existing statutes of limitations. The bill also includes a severability clause, meaning if any part of the law is found unconstitutional, the remaining parts will still be enforced.
