DETRANSITIONER PROTECTION ACT
This bill, misnamed as the "Detransitioner Protection Act" but actually focused on restricting care for minors, prohibits health care providers and public bodies from providing gender transition procedures or related information to minors under 18. It requires providers to give specific written and verbal notices to minors or parents about risks of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, citing unproven benefits and potential harms like reduced bone density and sterilization. Violations could lead to license revocation for providers. The bill does not address detransitioners, as defined in its text, but centers on preventing gender transition care for minors.
