Relating to: a civil cause of action for a minor injured by a gender transition procedure.
AB 400 proposes creating a new civil lawsuit option for minors under 18 who suffer injury during gender transition medical procedures. It directly affects minors receiving such care and the healthcare providers performing them. The bill establishes a legal cause of action allowing affected minors to seek compensation through civil court for injuries linked to these procedures. This is a substantive policy change focused on legal recourse, not on restricting medical care. The bill is currently in the Judiciary Committee for review after its August 2025 introduction.
