HB 35 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to gender transition procedures

HB 35 bans health care providers from performing gender transition surgeries or prescribing hormone treatments and puberty blockers for gender transition to individuals under 18, with an exception for those already receiving such care before August 28, 2023. Violations could result in license revocation for providers. The bill also creates a new legal pathway allowing affected minors to sue providers for up to 15 years after turning 21, with specific damage awards and a rebuttable presumption of harm if infertility occurs. Exceptions apply for medically verified conditions like disorders of sex development.
