The proposed bill would amend current statutes by introducing strict personal liability for health care professionals and physicians who provide gender transition procedures to minors. Specifically, it would hold these providers liable for all costs associated with subsequent detransition procedures sought by the minor within 25 years of the initial procedure. Additionally, it allows individuals who undergo detransition procedures to file civil actions against the providers for various forms of relief, including compensatory damages and attorney fees, before they turn 26 years old.

Furthermore, the bill establishes a framework for legal actions related to injuries resulting from gender transition procedures, allowing claims to be filed within eight years after the individual's 18th birthday or within four years after discovering the injury and its cause. It also prohibits health care professionals from seeking waivers of liability related to these procedures, deeming any such waivers null and void as contrary to public policy. Overall, the bill significantly alters the legal landscape surrounding gender transition procedures and the responsibilities of health care providers.
