Childhood Genital Mutilation Prevention Act
HR 5592, the Childhood Genital Mutilation Prevention Act, prohibits medical procedures related to gender identity for minors under 18, with exceptions for treating specific medical conditions like disorders of sex development or injuries. It criminalizes performing such treatments under certain circumstances (e.g., involving interstate commerce) with penalties up to 10 years in prison, while exempting care for diagnosed medical needs. The bill also excludes these procedures from Medicare/Medicaid coverage after 90 days and bans federal funding for such treatments or related health coverage. This directly affects minors under 18, healthcare providers, and insurers offering these services, but allows exceptions for medically necessary care.
