Health care; creating the Wrongful Life Act; prohibiting physician or other health care professional from providing certain services to a minor. Effective date.

SB 1912, the "Wrongful Life Act," prohibits physicians and healthcare professionals from providing gender transition surgery, hormone therapy, or puberty-blocking drugs to minors under 18, except when "medically necessary" (with gender transition explicitly defined as never meeting this standard). It also bans parents or guardians from consenting to these treatments for minors. The bill creates new civil lawsuits allowing individuals who received such care as minors to sue providers or parents if they claim the treatment prevented future reproductive abilities (childbirth, impregnation, or breastfeeding), with a rebuttable presumption that these abilities would have been possible without the care. It allows for compensatory/punitive damages, attorney fees, and in parent cases, potential child abuse charges if long-term harm is proven. The law takes effect November 1, 2026.
