The bill establishes a conclusive presumption that it is not in the best interests of a child to undergo any gender transition or gender reassignment procedures in various legal contexts, including adoption, custody, and visitation rights. This presumption is defined and applied across multiple sections of Wyoming law, specifically referencing procedures outlined in W.S. 20-2-206(a). The bill includes specific definitions of what constitutes gender transition or reassignment procedures, such as surgeries and hormone treatments, while also noting exceptions for children with medically verifiable genetic disorders or conditions like central precocious puberty.

Additionally, the bill amends existing statutes to incorporate this conclusive presumption into the determination of a child's best interests, ensuring that it is consistently applied in relevant legal proceedings. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2024, and will apply to all proceedings filed on or after that date.
