MODERATE

The bill was completely rewritten to shift from allowing gender transition procedures to strictly prohibiting state funding for them. The new version adds criminal penalties for state employees who facilitate these procedures and establishes legal protections for parents who withhold consent, whereas the original bill focused on defining procedures and setting civil liability for providers.

The bill's scope expanded from regulating private medical practices to directly restricting state funding and imposing employment consequences on state employees who participate in or facilitate gender transition procedures.

DEFINITION

Removed detailed definitions of 'gender transition procedures' and specific exclusions for conditions like disorders of sex development.

FISCAL

Added a strict prohibition on state agencies, employees, or contractors providing, allocating, or reimbusing any state funds for gender transition procedures.

ENFORCEMENT

Added provisions that make violations by state employees grounds for immediate termination and forfeiture of public benefits.

ELIGIBILITY

Added a clause stating that a parent's decision to withhold consent for these procedures does not constitute child abuse or neglect.

REQUIREMENT

Changed the legal framework from defining provider conduct to establishing a severability clause and specific venue rules for challenges.

The focus shifted exclusively to regulating gender transition procedures for minors, specifically adding definitions for 'child' and 'gender transition procedures' while removing provisions regarding adults and general parental custody issues.

The bill's scope was narrowed from applying to all gender transition procedures and protecting parental rights to focusing solely on minors and specific medical interventions.

SCOPE

Removed language prohibiting state funds for gender transition procedures for any person, limiting the funding restriction to minors only.

ELIGIBILITY

Deleted provisions protecting parents from losing custody if they withhold consent for gender transition procedures for their children.

DEFINITION

Added specific definitions for 'child' (under 18) and 'gender transition procedures' (surgical/anatomical changes and puberty-blocking drugs).

Narrowed the definition of prohibited procedures to exclude behavioral health care, medications for depression/anxiety, and treatments for ambiguous genitalia or disorders of sex development.

ENFORCEMENT

Added specific civil liability rules allowing minors to sue for damages up to age 45 if a provider performs prohibited procedures on them.
