This bill creates a cause of action for medical injuries resulting from the administration or prescription of gender transition surgery, cross-sex hormones, or puberty-blocking drugs. It allows individuals who have undergone medical detransition to bring a lawsuit for damages. The bill also provides protections against discrimination for individuals who have undergone medical detransition.

The bill defines terms such as "cross-sex hormones," "gender transition surgery," "medical detransition," and "puberty-blocking drugs." It establishes that the cause of action for medical injuries accrues when the plaintiff begins a medical detransition. The bill also includes provisions regarding the burden of proof and presumption of infertility for plaintiffs in these cases.

Additionally, the bill amends the definition of "gender identity" in the State Commission for Human Rights to include discrimination based on medical detransition. It adds a new definition of "sex" as the male and female biological sexes, distinct from an individual's psychological or subjective experience of gender-related identity.

The fiscal impact of the bill is indeterminable, as it is difficult to predict the number of additional public interactions, filed charges, and investigations that may result from the bill. The Judicial Branch also states that it is not possible to estimate how this change in law would impact the number of filings in the courts.
