Rep. Jamie Allard introduced legislation aimed to safeguard children from the aggressive gender-switching surgeries being pushed by a financially incentivized medical community and ideologically driven parents.
House Bill 338 addresses the issue of life-altering sex organ mutilation procedures performed on children without their consent, ensuring that physicians are held to the highest standards of accountability.
The bill introduces guidelines for civil liability in cases where minors undergo gender transition procedures and later decide that they had been duped. Specifically, the bill allows individuals who received such procedures as minors to seek recovery of damages against the physicians responsible.
“This will provide legal recourse for those affected by these life-altering medical decisions made before reaching adulthood,” Allard said.
“Protecting our children is a bipartisan issue. Through HB 338, the Legislature will take a major step forward in ensuring that the welfare of our kids is placed above all else. This bill is about safeguarding the future of children and ensuring that they are given the opportunity to make such decisions with the maturity
and insight that comes with being adults,” she said.
HB338 has been referred to the House Judiciary Committee.
