H.R. 6876 would authorize the President to impose visa sanctions against foreign nationals who perform or facilitate gender-affirming medical treatments on U.S. minors. The bill targets foreign physicians who are members of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health and those who work at facilities providing such treatments, including puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and surgical procedures. Foreign nationals sanctioned under this bill would be barred from entering the United States, have their visas revoked immediately, and lose eligibility for admission or parole. The Secretary of State would establish a process for individuals to report foreign medical professionals meeting these criteria and must submit a report to Congress within 180 days describing enforcement actions. The bill includes narrow exceptions for compliance with international obligations, whistleblowers who provide information about violations, and cases involving intersex conditions or detransition treatment.
