Gender transition assistance ban would not bar sharing health information with treating clinicians

The ban on helping provide gender transition procedures to minors would not bar physicians or other practitioners from sharing a minor’s health information or discussing the minor’s medical history with another practitioner. This covers physicians and other practitioners sharing information about a minor with another physician or practitioner. Health information must be released in the course of the receiving practitioner’s care of the minor. A discussion must be with a practitioner providing care to the minor. This provision would take effect July 1, 2026, if the bill becomes law.
