AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would make it a federal crime to knowingly perform or attempt to perform gender-related medical treatment on anyone under 18, with penalties of fines, up to 10 years in prison, or both. Covered treatments include listed surgeries, cross-sex hormones, and puberty blockers given to address a person's perception that their sex is not male or female as defined in the bill. Exceptions apply for treating certain disorders of sex development, ambiguous sex characteristics, or complications from earlier treatment, and minors themselves would not be charged. The bill would also end Medicare coverage for these treatments for minors, remove providers who furnish them from Medicare, and bar federal funds from paying for the treatments or for health coverage that includes them.
