Prohibit the use of public funds for transgender surgeries

This bill (LC 2924) would have prohibited the use of public funds - such as state or local government budgets - for gender-affirming surgeries. It would have directly affected transgender individuals relying on public healthcare programs (like Medicaid) and healthcare providers accepting public funding. The bill's key provision would have banned state and local governments from paying for these surgeries using taxpayer money. However, the bill died in committee on May 27, 2025, and never became law.
