The bill proposes to prohibit certain medical treatments for minors diagnosed with gender dysphoria in the state of Minnesota. Specifically, it prohibits licensed or regulated health care providers from performing or assisting with sex reassignment surgeries and from prescribing, dispensing, or administering puberty-blocking hormones or hormone antagonist therapies. However, the bill allows for the continuation of such treatments for minors who were already receiving them prior to the enactment of this law.
The new legal language introduced in the bill is codified under Minnesota Statutes, chapter 145, specifically designated as section 145.4225. The bill emphasizes the restrictions on treatments for gender dysphoria in minors and establishes an effective date for the new regulations as the day following final enactment.
