REVISED
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS29495 / H0675
This legislation would amend the existing state ban on female genital mutilation to also include puberty
blockers, cross-sex hormones, and sex reassignment surgeries when administered to children struggling with
gender dysphoria. Like FGM, these medical interventions are almost always irreversible; some render the
patient sterile, while others unnecessarily mutilate healthy body organs.
FISCAL NOTE
There is no anticipated fiscal impact to the State or General Fund because it requires no expenditure of State
funds.
