New federal crime for transporting minors
If enacted, you could face a federal crime for knowingly transporting a minor across State or international lines to help them get a covered gender transition procedure. You could be fined and face up to 10 years in prison. The rule also covers traveling or using the mail or other interstate facilities to further the transport. The government would have to prove you acted knowingly to facilitate the procedure.
Defines transition procedures and funding ban
If enacted, the bill would define a "gender transition procedure" for minors to include puberty blockers (and travel to get them), cross-sex hormones, and surgeries such as mastectomy, phalloplasty, and vaginoplasty. The bill would also bar federal funds to any State or local government that permits or encourages transporting a minor across State lines for those procedures, declares itself a sanctuary for such care, or fails to cooperate with federal investigations. The text does not list which federal programs or how much funding would be cut.
Parents can sue over minor transport
If enacted, a minor or the minor's parent or legal guardian could sue in federal court when a minor was transported in violation of the criminal rule. Plaintiffs could ask for a court order to stop the transport, compensatory and punitive damages, and attorneys' fees. This private right of action would take effect when the bill does.
