Allows children and their parents to sue for damages from medical professionals who perform certain interventions.
The Chloe Cole Act of 2026 allows children and their parents to bring a civil action for damages against health care professionals, hospitals, or clinics that participate in certain interventions on children. These interventions include delaying or halting puberty, altering physical appearance, or removing sexual organs. Damages available include economic damages, emotional distress, and punitive damages if malicious intent is proven. The act also establishes strict liability for proven participation in these interventions after the act's enactment.
The filed bill text is too short for analysis.
