HB 35 -- CERTAIN GENDER TRANSITION PROCEDURES

SPONSOR: Billington

Currently, a health care provider must not knowingly prescribe or administer cross-sex hormones or puberty blocking drugs for the purpose of a gender transition for any individual under 18 years of age.

This bill specifies that after March 1, 2026, prescriptions for cross-sex hormones or puberty-blocking drugs that were given to individuals under 18 years old for the purpose of assisting the individual with a gender transition prior to August 28, 2023, will no longer be considered valid.

The bill repeals the expiration clause for the related subsection.
