HCS HBs 2033, 1608, 1672 & 1854 -- GENDER TRANSITION PROCEDURES (Schmidt)

COMMITTEE OF ORIGIN: Standing Committee on Emerging Issues

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 repeals the expiration date for the prohibition.

This bill specifies that, after March 1, 2027, 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.

This bill is similar to HB 1038 (2025).
