relative to coverage of certain procedures for minor children under the state’s Medicaid program.
This bill prohibits the state's Medicaid program from covering gender reassignment surgery for individuals under the age of 18. By adding a new provision to the state's Medicaid laws, it explicitly excludes this specific medical procedure from coverage for minors. The change would take effect 60 days after the bill is passed, ensuring that public funds are not used for these surgeries for people in that age group.
