Bill overview
The Chloe Cole Act aims to prohibit healthcare professionals, hospitals, and clinics from engaging in what it defines as ‘chemical or surgical mutilation’ of children, which includes interventions to alter a child’s body to align with a different gender identity or to prevent natural puberty. It establishes a private right of action for children and their parents to sue for damages if they believe they have been subjected to such procedures. The bill also clarifies definitions related to the terms ‘chemical or surgical mutilation,’ ‘child,’ and ‘detransition treatment,’ and outlines circumstances under which participation in these procedures can be pursued.
