## Summary

**Creates a new federal crime for transporting minors across state lines to obtain a gender transition procedure.** This bill would make it illegal to move a minor in interstate or foreign commerce, or use the mail or other interstate means, to facilitate puberty blockers, cross‑sex hormones, or surgical interventions for minors. - Families and minors: Parents, guardians, or others who arrange or help a minor travel for a listed gender transition procedure could face criminal penalties. Transporting a minor for that purpose would carry a fine or up to 10 years in prison. - Civil rights and remedies: A minor or the parent or legal guardian of a transported minor could sue in federal court for injunctive relief, compensatory and punitive damages, and attorneys’ fees. - State and local governments: The bill would block federal funds to any state, local, or other government that permits or encourages out‑of‑state transport for these procedures, declares itself a sanctuary for them, or fails to cooperate with federal investigations or enforcement.
