This bill proposes to amend Arizona Revised Statutes by adding section 12-574, which establishes strict liability for health care professionals or physicians who provide gender transition procedures to minors. Under the new law, these professionals would be personally liable for all costs associated with any subsequent detransition procedures sought by the minor within twenty-five years. Additionally, minors who undergo detransition procedures would have the right to bring civil actions against the providers for the costs of the detransition, other appropriate relief, and attorney fees.

Furthermore, the bill allows individuals who suffer injuries related to gender transition procedures to file civil actions within specified timeframes, seeking various forms of relief, including compensatory and punitive damages. It also explicitly prohibits health care professionals from seeking contractual waivers of liability, declaring any such waivers null and void as contrary to public policy. Overall, the bill significantly expands the legal recourse available to minors and individuals affected by gender transition procedures.
