If a government agent has knowledge that a minor under its care or supervision has exhibited symptoms of gender dysphoria or gender nonconformity or otherwise demonstrates a desire to be treated in a manner incongruent with the minor's sex, the government agent or entity with knowledge of that circumstance shall immediately notify, in writing, each of the minor's parents, guardians, or custodians.

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill substantively addresses transgender issues by banning gender transition surgeries, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and related procedures on minors (restricts healthcare access), protecting counseling/therapy that aligns with biological sex or religious belief (expands access to change efforts), mandating parental notification by schools and government agents (restricts privacy/education policies), defining sex biologically, and barring state funds for such procedures. No provisions on firearms, abortion, or immigration enforcement.
