HB4482

Illinois HB4482 prohibits health care providers from performing or offering gender reassignment procedures on minors.

HB4482, the Prohibition on Gender Reassignment Procedures Act, aims to protect minors from undergoing medical procedures intended to alter their sex or treat gender dysphoria. The Act prohibits health care providers from performing or offering such procedures on minors. Exceptions include treatments for congenital defects, diseases, or physical injuries, and continuation of ongoing procedures if ending them would be harmful. The Act allows minors or their parents to sue for damages if a procedure is performed unlawfully, except if the parent consented.
