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 effective date of the act.
The new legal language introduced in the bill is codified under Minnesota Statutes, chapter 145, specifically in section [145.4225], which outlines these prohibitions and exceptions. The bill is set to take effect the day following its final enactment.
