An Act relating to physician liability for sex-reassignment treatments or procedures performed on minors; relating to standardized informed consent forms for sex-reassignment treatments or procedures; relating to the duties of the State Medical Board; relating to informed consent for sex-reassignment treatments or procedures performed on minors; establishing the crime of criminal sex-reassignment treatment or procedure; and providing for an effective date.

HB 342 requires Alaska's State Medical Board to create a standardized informed consent form for minors receiving sex-reassignment treatments or procedures. The form must include specific disclaimers, such as that the FDA hasn't approved puberty blockers or hormones for gender dysphoria, that other countries recommend psychotherapy first, and that these treatments carry risks like sterility, heart disease, and unknown brain development effects. It directly affects minors seeking gender-affirming care, their physicians, and the State Medical Board. The bill modifies medical licensing regulations to mandate this form before any such treatment, requiring it to be provided at every visit for at least one year. The bill is currently under review by the Health & Social Services committee.
