HR 3792

This bill, the KIDS Act, aims to protect the privacy of young people by prohibiting healthcare providers who accept Medicare, Medicaid, or CHIP funding from asking about a minor’s gender identity or sexual preference on intake forms. It specifically restricts the collection of this information unless it’s directly related to the minor’s medical care and deemed medically necessary. The bill also establishes a process for reporting any instances where such information is requested. This legislation is intended to safeguard sensitive personal data and reduce potential discrimination.
