This bill creates a federal civil lawsuit right for people who received gender-affirming medical care before turning 18, allowing them to sue the medical providers who performed the treatments. Individuals could recover up to $250,000 in damages per treatment, plus attorney's fees and court costs, with lawsuits filed on behalf of minors by parents, guardians, or other family members. The bill's definition of "gender-related medical treatment" covers a broad range of procedures and medications, including surgeries, hormone treatments, and puberty blockers, though it excludes treatments for certain intersex conditions and medical complications. To fall under federal jurisdiction, the lawsuit must involve interstate commerce connections such as providers or patients traveling across state lines, use of interstate payment systems, or use of medical instruments that traveled interstate. The bill was introduced in August 2025 and referred to the House Judiciary Committee.
