H.R. 8573, the STOP Act, prohibits gender transition procedures on minors when interstate or foreign commerce is involved, including procedures such as puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and related surgeries, with limited exceptions for treating disorders of sex development and medical emergencies. The bill creates federal penalties of at least $100,000 per violation and allows minors or their parents to sue for damages including medical reversal costs, emotional distress, and punitive damages, with lawsuits permitted up to 25 years after a minor turns 18. Additionally, the legislation establishes a compensation fund financed by collected penalties and creates a federal grant program to fund nonprofit organizations offering counseling, medical referrals, and mental health services to individuals seeking to reverse gender transition procedures. Grantee organizations cannot receive funding if they perform, refer for, or support gender transition procedures or abortions, and grant funds are strictly prohibited from being used for these purposes.
