Bans certain medical procedures for children under 18 and lets families sue doctors and hospitals.
This bill would stop health care professionals, hospitals, and clinics from performing specific medical procedures on children under 18 that aim to change their sex characteristics. It would also create a new federal way for individuals, or their parents, to sue for damages if these procedures were performed on them as children. This means new rules for doctors and new legal options for families.
Currently, there is no federal law stopping health care professionals, hospitals, or clinics from performing certain medical procedures on children to alter their sex characteristics, nor is there a federal way to sue for damages related to such interventions. This bill would create a federal ban on these procedures for children under 18 and establish a federal right for individuals or their parents to sue for damages, even for procedures that happened before the bill becomes law.
