HB 2830 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Creates provisions relating to the definition of reproductive health care

This bill defines the term "reproductive health care" to explicitly exclude gender transition surgeries, cross-sex hormones, and puberty-blocking drugs for both minors and adults. By adding this language to the state's legal code, the legislation clarifies that these specific medical procedures are not covered under the existing definition of reproductive health services. The change aims to ensure that laws or policies relying on this definition do not inadvertently include gender-affirming treatments.
