AN ACT relating to correctional facilities.

SB 2 prohibits the use of public funds (state/local government money) in Kentucky correctional facilities for hormone treatments or surgeries related to gender reassignment. It defines "cosmetic service or elective procedure" to include cross-sex hormone therapy and gender reassignment surgery, and bans funding for these except in rare cases where stopping treatment would cause immediate physical harm to an inmate. The law directly affects incarcerated individuals in Kentucky state and local correctional facilities by restricting access to these medical treatments using taxpayer money. It became law without the Governor's signature on March 27, 2025, after passing the legislature. The bill does not affect medical care unrelated to gender transition or private funding.
