Prohibit medical treatment for transgender minors

HB1080: prohibit certain medical and surgical interventions on minor patients.

Summary by CNN, February 13, 2023:HB 1080 outlaws the prescription and administration of puberty-blocking medication in patients under the age of 18, as well as sex hormones and surgery related to gender transition. Health care providers who violate the new law risk civil suits and losing their professional or occupational licenses. Gender-affirming care is medically necessary, evidence-based care that uses a multidisciplinary approach to help a person transition from their assigned gender--designated at birth--to their affirmed gender--the gender by which one wants to be known. Opponents of the bill emphasized that the measure would be harmful to transgender children and was a government intrusion into medical decisions.Legislative Summary:Passed House 60-10-0 on Feb/2/23; State Rep. Jon Hansen co-sponsored and voted YES; passed Senate on Feb/9/23; signed by Gov.Noem on Feb/13/23.
