## Provisions PRIA read

They could seek economic costs (including detransition care), pain and suffering, and punitive damages if they prove by clear and convincing evidence that the provider acted mal…

If enacted, this bill would bar doctors and hospitals from giving minors puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, or surgeries to change sex traits when federal triggers apply. Participating would include planning, prescribing, authorizing, administering, or performing the care. Federal scope would ap…
- If one part falls, rest stands: mixed, low. If enacted, the bill would say that if a court strikes one part, the rest would stay in effect. This is a legal backstop and does not itself change who gets benefits or pays money.
