HB1356: Bill Hearings & Public Record

HB1356- Anti-Trans Healthcare

• Official Title: relative to the statute of limitations for bringing a private right of action for violation of the statute prohibiting medical procedures and treatments intended to alter a minor's gender.

• Bill Sponsors: (Prime) Wherry (R), Kofalt (R), Layon (R), Mazur (R), Peternel (R), Potenza (R), McGrath (R), Ford (R)

• Summary: This bill extends the statute of limitations for gender surgery on a minor to 10 years after majority, causing a chilling effect on accepted medical practice. Extending the statute of limitations means that folks who detransition (only approximately 0.2% of folks) have a longer timeline to sue doctors and healthcare providers for administering medical procedures that aligned with patient desire, best practices, and the best medical knowledge available. Extending the statute of limitations is designed to scare healthcare providers into not offering trans-specific healthcare, further reducing access to providers and treatments in the state.
