House Bill No. [insert bill number] seeks to revise laws concerning gender transition treatment for minors, establishing a statute of limitations for tort actions related to such treatments. Individuals will have two years to file claims after turning 30 or discovering an injury linked to gender transition treatment. The bill also requires insurance policies that cover gender transition treatment to provide reciprocal coverage for detransition treatment, ensuring that individuals can access necessary services under similar cost-sharing arrangements. Additionally, it amends the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to ensure that Medicaid and Healthy Montana Kids cover detransition treatment in specific circumstances.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that insurance contracts and group benefits plans from the Montana university system include coverage for both gender transition and detransition treatments. If coverage for gender transition treatment is discontinued, equivalent coverage for those previously enrolled must still be provided. The bill also outlines that if the Montana Medicaid program includes gender transition treatment, it must also cover detransition treatment under similar cost-sharing policies. The Department of Health and Human Services is required to report to legislative committees before making changes to provider rates or Medicaid plans, ensuring that all services are medically necessary and cost-effective. The provisions of this act are set to take effect on October 1, 2026.
