To amend title 18, United States Code, to provide for certain rules for housing or transportation based on gender and to provide for a limitation on gender-related medical treatment.
This bill would require the Federal Bureau of Prisons to house and transport incarcerated individuals only with prisoners of the same biological sex and would prohibit the bureau from providing or paying for gender-related medical treatment for inmates. The legislation defines biological sex based on reproductive system characteristics and specifies that gender-related medical treatment includes various surgeries, hormone therapies, and puberty blockers provided to address gender identity concerns, though it excludes treatment for certain disorders of sex development and medical conditions caused by prior gender-related treatments. The bill was introduced in December 2024 and referred to the House Judiciary Committee. There is no specific funding mechanism or implementation timeline specified in the legislation. The bill would affect all individuals currently incarcerated in federal prisons and any future inmates.
