atments for minors. This bill specifically targets treatments such as hormone therapy and gender reassignment surgery for individuals under the age of 18. The bill states that these treatments can have long-term physical and psychological consequences for minors, and therefore should not be funded by the federal government.

Opponents of the bill argue that it infringes on the rights of individuals to make decisions about their own bodies and medical care. They also argue that denying access to these treatments can have negative effects on the mental health and well-being of transgender youth.

f China and individuals or entities attempting to establish a Chinese police presence in the United States.
