Massachusetts S2572 protects access to gender-affirming and reproductive health care services.

Massachusetts S2572 amends various sections of the General Laws to protect access to gender-affirming and reproductive health care services. It prohibits the use of certain health care services as evidence in custody or abuse cases unless the conduct constitutes abuse or neglect under state law. The bill also shields attorneys from discipline for advising on such services and mandates that emergency departments provide necessary care regardless of a patient's out-of-state legal status.
