This bill amends the statute of limitations for bringing a private right of action regarding violations of the prohibition on medical procedures intended to change a minor's gender. Specifically, it extends the time frame for individuals to file a claim from 2 years to 10 years after the minor reaches the age of majority. The legal language in the bill reflects this change by deleting the term "2" and inserting "10" in RSA 332-N:3, II, which governs the rights of individuals under 18 years of age to bring such actions.
The bill is set to take effect 60 days after its passage and is expected to have indeterminable fiscal impacts on state and local governments, particularly concerning judicial and correctional systems. The potential costs associated with prosecution, incarceration, probation, and parole due to the changes in the statute may affect both state and county expenditures, although specific revenue impacts are projected to be zero.
