This bill proposes several updates to current statutes regarding health insurance and the process for changing official documents for individuals undergoing gender detransition. Specifically, it introduces a new section (20-243) that mandates health insurers to provide coverage for gender detransition procedures starting January 1, 2027, and requires healthcare providers to agree to cover these procedures. Additionally, health insurers must report specific data related to claims for gender detransition procedures to the department within fifteen days of filing, ensuring that individual identities remain confidential.

Furthermore, the bill requires state agencies to establish expedited procedures for individuals undergoing gender detransition to change their name and gender designation on official documents. By December 31, 2027, agencies must identify the current processes for such changes and report to the department of administration. They must also develop an expedited process by June 30, 2028. Notably, this section will be repealed after December 31, 2028. Overall, the bill aims to enhance access to necessary healthcare and streamline administrative processes for individuals in the process of gender detransition.
