Establishes certain protections for persons, providing, receiving, and allowing children to receive gender-affirming health care.
New Jersey's A1710 bill creates legal protections for children receiving gender-affirming health care by preventing other states from interfering with this care. The bill amends child custody laws to ensure New Jersey courts can handle cases where children receive this care here, and prohibits New Jersey from extraditing, prosecuting, or sharing medical records related to gender-affirming care with other states. It specifically prevents courts from considering a parent's decision to seek gender-affirming care as a factor against them in custody disputes, and stops New Jersey courts from enforcing other states' laws that would remove children from parents for allowing this care. The bill applies to all providers, parents, and medical professionals involved in providing or facilitating gender-affirming care for children in New Jersey.
