Strengthens health care protections in Massachusetts, including safeguarding gender-affirming health care services.

The bill strengthens health care protections in Massachusetts by prohibiting state and local agencies from cooperating with out-of-state inquiries into legally-protected health care activities. It ensures that gender-affirming health care services cannot be used as grounds for altering custody or finding abuse or neglect. The bill also mandates that electronic communication services and remote computing services in the state do not assist out-of-state investigations into such health care activities.
