The proposed bill would amend current statutes by prohibiting health insurers from denying coverage for gender detransition procedures starting January 1, 2027. It would require healthcare providers that perform gender transition procedures to also provide or pay for gender detransition services. Additionally, health insurers would be mandated to report claims for detransition procedures to the Department of Insurance and Financial Institutions (DIFI) within 15 days of the claim, including specific demographic information while ensuring the anonymity of individuals involved.

Furthermore, the bill would require state agencies that issue official documents to adopt expedited processes for individuals undergoing gender detransition to update their name and gender designation. Agencies must report on their current processes and identify expedited procedures by specified deadlines, with the relevant provisions set to be repealed after December 31, 2028. The bill also defines "health insurer" and grants the Attorney General authority to investigate violations and enforce compliance with these new requirements.
