HEALTH: Requests the Louisiana Department of Health to study the effects of gender affirming therapy on mental health
This legislative resolution asks the Louisiana Department of Health to conduct a study on the link between gender-affirming hormone medications and mental health issues in people under 26.

By February 2027, the department must submit a written report of its findings and any recommendations to the House Committee on Health and Welfare. The bill directly affects the Louisiana Department of Health and individuals receiving gender-affirming care in the state.
