The bill amends the Reproductive and Gender-Affirming Health Care Freedom Act to clarify definitions and consent requirements for minors receiving health care. It introduces a new definition of "minor" as an individual under eighteen years of age and specifies that "gender-affirming health care" includes various forms of medical support for a person's gender identity. Additionally, it redefines "reproductive health care" to encompass a range of services related to the human reproductive system, including pregnancy management and sexually transmitted infection treatment.

Furthermore, the bill establishes that public bodies and their representatives cannot discriminate against individuals based on their use of reproductive or gender-affirming health care services. It prohibits any actions that would restrict access to these services and clarifies that no law or policy can conflict with the provisions of the Act. Importantly, the bill includes a stipulation that minors cannot receive gender-affirming or reproductive health care without parental consent, unless otherwise provided by law.
