Stage: Committee · step 2 of 6
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill substantively addresses transgender healthcare by barring tax deductions, Medicaid/Medicare/CHIP funding, and essential health benefits for defined gender transition procedures (hormonal, surgical, puberty blockers), with biological definitions of sex and limited medical exceptions. This restricts access to and recognition of such care. No provisions address firearms, abortion, or immigration enforcement.
