Minnesota HF3151 prohibits gender-affirming medical care and certain counseling for minors, with exceptions.
Minnesota HF3151, known as the "Zywiec Act," prohibits health care providers from offering gender-affirming care to minors, including hormone therapy and puberty blockers. Exceptions are made for treatments deemed medically necessary for conditions unrelated to gender identity, such as precocious puberty, and for mental health counseling that does not affirm a gender identity different from the minor's biological sex. Public funds cannot be used for gender-affirming care for minors. Violators face civil fines, license revocation, and imprisonment.
