## Summary

**Bars foreign individuals from entering the U.S. if they performed, prescribed, facilitated, or supported chemical or surgical mutilations of U.S. minors.** This bill would create an immigration-based sanctions regime that denies visas, blocks admission and parole, and can revoke existing visas for those individuals. - Foreign medical providers and clinic owners identified by the President, including members of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health and licensed physicians who performed such treatments, would be made inadmissible, ineligible for visas or entry, and could have current visas revoked. - It defines "chemical or surgical mutilation" to include puberty blockers, sex hormones, and surgical procedures and lists exclusions for medically necessary care for disorders of sexual development, treatment of infections or injuries caused by such interventions, certain congenital or acute conditions, and detransition treatment. - The Secretary of State must set up procedures for submitting information about possible violators, the bill includes a narrow whistleblower exception and a presidential national security waiver, and it requires a report to Congress within 180 days on actions taken and the number of people sanctioned.
