This bill prohibits the federal government from using any taxpayer funds to provide or pay for gender transition procedures for individuals in the custody of the Department of Homeland Security or the Department of Health and Human Services. The affected population includes immigrants and detainees held by these agencies. The legislation defines gender transition procedures broadly to include various surgical procedures, hormone medications at certain doses, and implants when performed to change a person's body to no longer match their sex assigned at birth. The bill does not specify any particular funding amount or implementation timeline beyond stating that federal funds cannot be used for these purposes. The measure was introduced in September 2024 and referred to the House Energy and Commerce Committee and House Judiciary Committee for consideration.
