Relating to traveling with a child to facilitate the provision of certain gender transitioning or gender reassignment procedures or treatments to that child; creating a criminal offense.

HB 4710 makes it a first-degree felony to travel from Texas with a child residing in Texas to another state to access gender transition or reassignment procedures or treatments that would be prohibited in Texas under existing law. It directly affects Texas parents, guardians, or caregivers who travel with minors for such care outside the state. The law creates a criminal offense unless the treatment is already authorized under current Texas law (Section 161.703). The bill takes effect September 1, 2025, and applies only to procedures prohibited within Texas.
