PEDIATRIC SECRETIVE TRANSITIONS PARENTAL RIGHTS ACT – Adds to existing law to establish the Pediatric Secretive Transitions Parental Rights Act.
This Idaho bill (H 739) requires schools and healthcare providers to notify parents within 72 hours if a minor expresses interest in social gender transition steps (like changing names/pronouns, bathroom use, or sports teams). It prohibits covered entities (schools, childcare, healthcare) from hiding such requests or facilitating medical gender transition procedures without parental consent. Parents can sue for violations and seek damages, while the state attorney general may impose civil fines up to $100,000 per violation. The bill directly affects minors under 18, their parents/guardians, and educational/medical institutions serving them.
