AN ACT PROHIBITING CERTAIN TREATMENT PRACTICES AND PROMOTING PSYCHOTHERAPY FOR MINORS EXPERIENCING GENDER DYSPHORIA OR INCONGRUENCE.
HB 5370 prohibits healthcare providers from prescribing puberty-blocking drugs or cross-sex hormones to minors for gender dysphoria treatment (outside FDA-approved uses) and bans gender reassignment surgeries for minors. The bill also requires healthcare providers to offer psychotherapy as an alternative for minors experiencing gender dysphoria or incongruence. It directly affects minors under 18 who seek gender-affirming care and their healthcare providers. The law aims to restrict specific medical treatments while mandating psychotherapy support for these minors.
