Bill overview
This bill, the GUARD Act, aims to protect parents' and guardians' rights to oppose medical treatments or social changes related to a minor’s expressed gender identity. It would disqualify states from receiving federal funding under the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act if they discriminate against parents who object to such treatments, even if the minor has a medical diagnosis suggesting gender dysphoria. The bill allows parents or guardians to sue states that violate these protections. This legislation focuses on parental rights and medical decisions concerning minors’ gender identity.
