Illinois HB1214 prohibits sex-reassignment procedures for patients under 18 years old.
HB1214 amends the Medical Practice Act of 1987 to prohibit sex-reassignment procedures for patients younger than 18 years of age. The bill defines "sex-reassignment procedures" as any medical procedure to affirm a person's perception of their sex if inconsistent with their sex. Exceptions include treatment for infections, injuries, diseases, or disorders caused or exacerbated by such procedures, and treatment for physical disorders, injuries, or conditions. The Department of Financial and Professional Regulation can revoke the license of any physician who violates this prohibition.
