Jamie Reed Protecting Our Kids from Child Abuse Act

HR 4618, the "Jamie Reed Protecting Our Kids from Child Abuse Act," creates legal liability for pediatric gender clinics and medical practitioners who perform gender-transition procedures on minors. It prohibits federal funding for such clinics, affiliated institutions (like hospitals or universities), and any gender-transition procedures performed on minors. Individuals harmed by these procedures can file lawsuits up to 30 years after turning 18, seeking compensatory damages, punitive damages, and attorney fees. The law applies retroactively to procedures performed before, on, or after its effective date. It specifically excludes exceptions for medical conditions like ambiguous biological characteristics or life-threatening illnesses.
