A04730Prohibits state contracts with contractors who do not provide health insurance which covers services for transgender, non-binary, and gender expansive people.
Requires all state contractors to provide health insurance covering a wide range of gender-affirming care services (including hormone therapy, surgeries, fertility preservation, mental health care, etc.) and prohibits limiting services based on gender identity, so more contractors must cover and not
A clause shall be inserted in all specifications or contracts hereafter made or awarded by the state or any public department, agency or official thereof, for work or services performed or to be performed, for goods sold or to be sold pursuant to which any contractor, to whom any contract shall be let, granted or awarded, agrees, as a material condition of the contract, that neither such contractor nor any substantially owned or affiliated person, firm, part-nership or corporation has participated or is participating or shall participate in a health plan offered which does not cover services
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a new section to the state finance law that conditions eligibility for all state contracts on contractors providing health insurance that covers an extensive list of gender-affirming services for transgender, non-binary, and gender expansive people and prohibits limiting care based on gender identity. This directly expands access to and legal recognition of transgender healthcare by mandating coverage in state-contracted employment plans.
