gender transition; minors; prohibitions.

HB 2085 prohibits physicians and health professionals in Arizona from providing or referring minors under 18 for gender transition procedures, including puberty blockers, cross-sex hormone therapy, or surgery. The bill allows exceptions for minors with specific medical conditions, such as disorders of sex development, or for treating infections or injuries caused by prior gender transition care. It bans public funding for such procedures in state facilities, government-employed providers, or state health insurance programs. Violations may lead to professional discipline, private lawsuits for damages, or enforcement actions by the attorney general.
