Summary of Legislation
The bill requires causes of action for intentional or negligent acts related to gender transition
procedures performed on individuals under the age 26 to be brought before the individual turns
38. The same deadline applies if the lawsuit is against an organization responsible for the
procedure through the actions of its employees or representatives.
State Revenue and Expenditures
Trial court revenue and workload from case filings may increase if the number of cases filed
related to youth gender transition procedures increases. As the bill applies to a limited number
of cases, any impact on state revenue and expenditures is expected to be minimal.
Effective Date
The bill takes effect 90 days following adjournment of the General Assembly sine die, assuming
no referendum petition is filed, and applies to claims that have not been barred by that date.
