Gender transition procedures; prohibiting certain use of public funds; providing penalties. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 1002 prohibits state and local government entities from using public funds - such as state appropriations, fees, or agency revenue - to provide or refer for gender transition procedures. It bans state/local health facilities and government-employed health care providers from offering these procedures and requires disciplinary action, including termination or fines up to $10,000, for violations. The bill directly affects state/local health agencies, their employees, and any providers receiving public funds for such care. It becomes effective July 1, 2025, and is classified as an emergency measure.
