The Protecting Parents of Transgender Children Act aims to safeguard the rights of parents, legal custodians, and legal guardians in Pennsylvania regarding the provision of information and medical services to minors. The bill explicitly prohibits the Commonwealth or any political subdivision from restricting these adults from obtaining or assisting minors in obtaining information and medical services that are deemed medically accurate and appropriate, as well as evidence-based.

Additionally, the legislation provides protection against child abuse claims for parents and guardians who facilitate access to such information and services for minors. This means that actions taken by parents or guardians in this context will not be classified as child abuse, thereby ensuring that they can support their children's health and well-being without fear of legal repercussions. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
