Bill 119 s 312, also known as the "Federal tort against pediatric gender clinics and other entities pushing gender-transition procedures that cause bodily injury to children or harm the mental health of children," aims to create a legal avenue for individuals to seek compensation for harm caused by gender-transition procedures on children.
The bill specifically targets pediatric gender clinics and other entities that promote or provide gender-transition procedures that result in bodily injury or harm to the mental health of children. It seeks to hold these entities accountable for any negative consequences that may arise from such procedures.
If passed, this bill would establish a Federal tort, or civil wrong, that individuals could use to seek damages for any harm caused to children as a result of gender-transition procedures. This could include physical injuries, mental health issues, or other negative effects that may arise from such procedures.
Overall, Bill 119 s 312 aims to protect children from potential harm caused by gender-transition procedures and hold accountable those entities that may be responsible for such harm. It is important to note that this bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process and may undergo changes before potentially becoming law.
