The Senate Health and Providers Committee passed a bill Wednesday that proposes banning gender transitioning procedures and treatment for anyone under the age of 18.
Senate Bill 480 would prohibit physicians or practitioners from knowingly providing gender transition procedures to a minor. It also prohibits them from referring minors to other practitioners for those procedures.
The Indiana Senate health and providers committee passed the bill 8-3. Senators Shelli Yoder , Eddie Melton and Vaneta Becker voted opposed to the bill.Physicians may continue to prescribe testosterone or estrogen on June 30 as part of a gender transition procedure until Dec. 31. This portion of the bill expires Jan. 1, 2024.
The ACLU of Indiana held a "pack the statehouse" event at 8 a.m. ahead of the committee hearing at 9 a.m. The bill would also allow the Indiana Attorney General to investigate and"bring action to enforce compliance."Rep. Michelle Davis amended the bill to change language from banning topics of"sexual orientation" and"gender identity" to encompass"human sexuality."
