South Dakota Republican Gov. Kristi Noem signs a bill banning surgical and non-surgical gender-affirming treatments for transgender minors in the state
HB 1080 outlaws the prescription and administration of puberty-blocking medication in patients under the age of 18, as well as sex hormones and surgery related to gender transition. Health care providers who violate the new law, which takes effect on July 1, risk civil suits and losing their professional or occupational licenses. “South Dakota’s kids are our future. With this legislation, we are protecting kids from harmful, permanent medical procedures,” Noem said in a news release Monday.
Opponents of the bill, however, said ahead of Noem’s signing that the measure would be harmful to transgender children and was a government intrusion into medical decisions. “Surgeries-gone-wrong are simply not happening in South Dakota,” Democratic state Sen. Liz Larson said during debate. “I don’t know about you, but I don’t need the state legislature when I’m in the doctor’s office.
