Current law, which is known as the "Missouri Save Adolescents from Experimentation (SAFE) Act", prohibits the prescription or administration by a health care provider of a cross-sex hormone or puberty-blocking drug, as defined in Chapter 191, RSMo, to any individual under 18 years of age. However, such treatments may be prescribed or administered to individuals under 18 years of age if that individual had been prescribed or administered such treatment before the enactment of the prohibition. The prohibition of such treatments sunsets on August 28, 2027.
This bill repeals both the exception on the prohibition of individuals previously prescribed either of these treatments and the sunset of the prohibition.
