Bill overview
The Protect Children’s Innocence Act prohibits gender-affirming care on minors in the United States. Specifically, it amends existing federal law to criminalize the performance of certain medical procedures – including surgeries, hormone treatments, and placement of implants – intended to align a minor’s body with a gender identity different from their biological sex. The bill also establishes a civil legal recourse for individuals who receive this care, and outlines specific circumstances under which these actions would be considered to involve interstate commerce, potentially leading to federal prosecution. However, it includes exceptions for individuals with specific genetic conditions or those facing imminent health risks.
