PEDIATRIC SECRETIVE TRANSITIONS PARENTAL RIGHTS ACT – Adds to existing law to establish the Pediatric Secretive Transitions Parental Rights Act.
This Idaho bill establishes the Pediatric Secretive Transitions Parental Rights Act, which requires healthcare providers and schools to inform parents if their child seeks sex transition procedures or social transitions. The law mandates that covered entities notify parents within 72 hours of receiving a minor's request to use different pronouns, names, or facilities, and prohibits these entities from facilitating such transitions without parental written consent. Parents who believe their rights were violated can sue for damages and attorney fees, while the state attorney general may investigate violations and impose civil penalties of up to $100,000. The bill defines social transition as changes in name, pronouns, appearance, or dress that do not correspond to a person's biological sex, and applies to children under 18 who are not married or emancipated.

MINOR
The bill was amended to add a specific prohibition on using public funds, property, or employee time to assist children with social transition, while retaining the ban on private entities aiding sex transition procedures. The amendment also renumbered the list of enforcement and penalty provisions, shifting the original Section 15 (regarding state law conflicts) to a new Section 15.
Scope change
The bill's scope was expanded to explicitly include public sector restrictions on social transition assistance, whereas the original text only restricted private covered entities.
REQUIREMENT
Added a specific mandate that public funds, property, or employee time cannot be used to aid or abet a child's social transition efforts.
Removed the original Section 15 regarding conflicts with other state laws, which was renumbered to Section 15 in the amended version.
TECHNICAL
Renumbered the enforcement and penalty sections (previously 8-14) to 8-14 in the amended version to accommodate the new public sector restriction clause.
