REVISED
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS29985C2 / H0071
The Vulnerable Child Protective Act would prohibit puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and sex
reassignment surgeries for children under the age of 18 when administered or performed for the purpose of
changing the appearance of a child's sex. These medical and surgical interventions can cause irreversible
physical alterations; and some render the patient sterile or with lifelong sexual dysfunction, while others
mutilate healthy body organs. This legislation also provides for exemptions for medically necessary uses of
these drugs and procedures.
FISCAL NOTE
There is no anticipated fiscal impact on the general fund because it requires no expenditure of State funds nor
is there an impact on local governments.
