SB753Relating to prohibiting certain conduct by physicians and health care providers involving gender transitioning and gender reassignment procedures and treatments for children; creating a criminal offense.
Bans physicians and health care providers from performing gender-transition surgeries, providing puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones, removing healthy body parts, or referring children out of state for such procedures, so less access to gender-transition medical care for minors.
a physician or health care provider may not knowingly: (1) perform a surgery that sterilizes the child, including: (A) castration; ... (3) provide, prescribe, administer, or dispense any of the following prescription drugs that induce transient or permanent infertility: (A) puberty suppression or blocking prescription drugs to stop or delay normal puberty; (B) supraphysiologic doses of testosterone to females; or (C) supraphysiologic doses of estrogen to males;
⚠ Quote could not be matched to the bill text: treat this label with caution
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends existing law to expand the list of prohibited gender-transition procedures and treatments for children (adding removal of healthy body parts and out-of-state referrals), creates a new criminal offense for violations, and takes effect in 2025. This directly restricts access to gender-transition healthcare for minors under the transgender topic. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
