MINOR
This bill expands liability beyond just health care practitioners to include any person who knowingly aids or abets a practitioner in violating sex-reassignment prescription laws. It also broadens who can be held civilly liable to include these 'aiders and abettors' alongside practitioners themselves.
Scope change
The bill's scope expanded from only applying to health care practitioners to also applying to any other person who knowingly aids or abets a health care practitioner in violating the law.
ENFORCEMENT
Changed liability language from prohibiting a 'health care practitioner' from aiding or abetting another, to prohibiting 'any person' from knowingly aiding or abetting a health care practitioner.
Expanded civil action authority to allow the Attorney General to bring actions against 'any other person who knowingly aids or abets a health care practitioner,' not just against practitioners themselves.
REQUIREMENT
Changed the standard for aiding and abetting from 'willfully or actively participates' to 'knowingly aids or abets,' which may broaden who can be held liable.
