Transgender youth, like all youth, have the best chance to thrive when they are supported and can get the doctor-prescribed medical care they need when they need it. Gender-affirming care is evidence-based and supported by medical authorities like the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Medical Association. Medical decisions should rest solely with doctors, parents, and the patient - not politicians.
Despite this, there are multiple bills introduced this session that would criminalize or restrict medically necessary care for transgender youth.
About the Bill
HB 619, in its amended form, would ban gender affirming surgery for transgender youth and prohibit doctors from referring care for transgender youth to out-of-state doctors.
