Relating to: a civil cause of action for a minor injured by a gender transition procedure.
What changed between versions
The statute was renumbered from Section 1 to Section 895.039 to align with the official Wisconsin Statutes format.
Standard legislative formatting elements, such as the 'Date of enactment' and 'Date of publication' headers, were added to finalize the text as an official act.
The definition of 'gender transition procedure' was slightly reworded for clarity, though the specific medical services included (such as puberty blockers and hormone therapy) remain the same.
A minor typographical error in the defense requirements was corrected, changing the number of required healthcare providers from 'one' to 'at least two' to ensure the defense is only available when multiple professionals certify the treatment is necessary.
A new section was added clarifying that the law applies to procedures performed on or after the effective date of the act.
