HB 2375 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Relating to permitting persons to refuse to participate in a irreversible transition surgery

HB 2375 prohibits requiring physicians or others to perform or assist in irreversible gender reassignment surgery if they object for any reason. It directly affects medical professionals licensed in West Virginia, including physicians under the state's medical boards. The bill adds a new section to state law explicitly stating that no one may be compelled to participate in such procedures, even if mandated by law or policy. This creates a legal protection for healthcare providers who refuse to provide or assist with these specific medical procedures based on personal, medical, or other grounds.
