Sue over coerced gender-identity procedures

You can sue a healthcare professional for money if a covered procedure injured you and the provider coerced consent. Licensed providers and clinics regulated by the state are covered. Covered care includes surgery or giving puberty blockers or hormones to help you live as an identity inconsistent with your sex at birth, or to treat related distress. It does not cover treatment for a congenital defect, very early puberty, disease, or physical injury. You may get compensatory and punitive damages, plus reasonable attorney fees, court costs, and expenses. If you were a minor, your parent, guardian, or legal representative can bring the suit. File within 18 years of the procedure. For procedures on or after the law’s effective date when you were a minor, you have 30 years after you turn 18, or, if the minor dies, 10 years after the death. These suits follow this law’s deadlines, not other malpractice time limits.
