This bill would prohibit any entity that receives federal funds from providing medical or surgical interventions intended to help individuals transition away from their biological sex. The legislation would affect hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare providers that accept Medicare, Medicaid, or other federal funding, potentially forcing them to choose between accepting federal dollars and providing gender-affirming medical care. The bill includes a narrow exception allowing federally-funded entities to continue treating developmental or genetic anomalies and historical accidents. The legislation does not specify any particular funding amount or implementation timeline, as it functions as a broad restriction on how existing federal healthcare funds can be used. The bill was introduced in October 2024 and referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce but does not include sunset provisions or phase-in periods.
