The Detransitioner Protection Act is a newly enacted law in New Mexico that regulates gender transition procedures for minors. It prohibits health care providers and public bodies from administering such procedures to minors and requires them to provide informed notice to minors and their parents about the associated risks and the lack of supporting evidence for these treatments. The Act defines important terms related to gender identity and transition, such as "detransition" and "gender clinic," and establishes penalties for non-compliance, including disciplinary actions against health care providers and potential civil lawsuits by parents.

Furthermore, the Act mandates that gender clinics report statistics on gender transition procedures and requires public bodies or clinics using state funds to also offer detransition procedures. It grants individuals the right to restore their legal documents to their original sex and holds health care providers liable for the costs of detransition procedures. The law emphasizes parental consent and access to medical records while ensuring minors receive appropriate mental health support. It also allows individuals to file civil actions against health care providers for costs related to detransition procedures within specified timeframes and prevents providers from seeking waivers of liability for violations. The Act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
