## Summary

**Stops federal Medicaid and CHIP dollars from paying for gender transition procedures.** It would define a wide list of surgeries, implants, and hormones as "specified gender transition procedures" and limit federal coverage to narrow medical exceptions. - Children and families: People enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP would not get federal coverage for listed surgeries, chest implants, puberty blockers, or cross-sex hormones when those are used for gender transition. - Medical exceptions: Federal funding would still cover puberty suppression for diagnosed precocious puberty and procedures or treatments deemed medically necessary for certain disorders of sex development or to repair injuries from prior procedures. - Medicaid and CHIP programs: The bill would add new, explicit disallowances to Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program so those specified procedures are ineligible for federal reimbursement.
