Extending statute of limitations for bringing actions for gender reassignment surgeries

SB 507 extends the statute of limitations for medical malpractice lawsuits related to gender reassignment surgeries and gender transition therapies from the standard 2 years to 20 years after the injured person discovers both the injury and its connection to the treatment. It directly affects patients who received these medical services and later experienced complications, allowing them to file lawsuits even if the standard time limit had expired. The bill also invalidates any pre-existing liability waivers for these specific procedures, stating such waivers violate public policy. This change applies to both current and previously time-barred cases involving gender reassignment surgeries, medications, or transition services.
