The Detransitioner Protection Act introduces comprehensive regulations concerning gender transition procedures for minors in New Mexico. It prohibits health care providers and public bodies from offering gender transition procedures or information to minors, while requiring them to inform minors and their parents about the associated risks and the lack of supporting evidence for such treatments. The Act establishes penalties for non-compliance, including disciplinary actions against providers and potential civil lawsuits from parents. Additionally, it mandates that gender clinics report statistics on these procedures and ensures that any public body or clinic receiving state funds must also provide detransition procedures.

The legislation further allows individuals who have undergone gender transition procedures to seek legal restoration of their sex and name on legal documents without needing a court order. It imposes strict liability on health care providers and public bodies for costs related to subsequent detransition procedures for minors, enabling individuals to file civil actions for damages within specified time frames. The bill also outlines exceptions to the limitations period for filing claims and prohibits providers from seeking waivers of liability. It includes provisions for investigation by the attorney general or district attorney for potential violations and introduces a severability clause to maintain the effectiveness of the Act if any part is invalidated. The Act is scheduled to take effect on July 1, 2025.
