Stops federal Medicaid money for gender transition procedures for people under 18.

This bill would stop federal Medicaid funding from being used for certain gender transition procedures for individuals under 18 years old. This means state Medicaid programs would no longer receive federal funding for these specific procedures or related administrative costs for minors. Limited medical exceptions would still apply. Individuals under 18 seeking these procedures through Medicaid would be directly affected.

What Would Change

Today, federal Medicaid funding may be used by state plans to cover specified gender transition procedures and related administrative costs for individuals under 18 years of age. If this bill becomes law, federal Medicaid funding would be prohibited for these specific gender transition procedures and related administrative costs for individuals under 18. This prohibition would include specific exceptions for certain medical conditions.

Key Provisions

Bans federal Medicaid funding for specific gender transition surgeries for individuals under 18.
Stops federal Medicaid funding for certain hormone treatments and puberty blockers for individuals under 18.
Prohibits federal Medicaid funding for specific implant placements related to gender transition for individuals under 18.
Allows federal Medicaid funding for procedures for minors with certain genetic disorders or medical conditions, with parental consent.
Defines "sex" as either male or female, based on biological reproductive systems, for the purpose of the bill.
