Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.
Jail treatment limits preserve mental health options
County sheriffs cannot start cross-sex hormone treatment or surgery to change primary or secondary sex characteristics for jail prisoners. They may provide psychotherapy, mental health care, or other necessary and appropriate care for gender dysphoria or co-occurring mental disorders. This permission does not guarantee treatment.
Youth custody treatment limits preserve counseling
Beginning May 7, 2025, the Division of Juvenile Justice and Youth Services cannot start specified treatments for minors in its custody. These include puberty-blocking drugs, cross-sex hormones, and surgery to change primary or secondary sex characteristics. The division may provide psychotherapy, mental health care, or other needed, appropriate treatment for gender dysphoria or co-occurring mental disorders. This care is allowed, not required, and remains subject to the treatment ban and sex-separated housing rules.
Sexual misconduct protections reach youth under 25
The law raises the age limit for covered youth receiving state services from under 21 to under 25. This covers people in juvenile justice or child welfare custody, or whose cases remain under juvenile court authority. Covered sexual acts by service providers are third-degree felonies, or second-degree felonies when the youth is under 18. The actor must know or reasonably be expected to know the youth's status. Statutory exclusions apply, and a more serious offense carries the greater penalty.
Youth facilities must separate housing by sex
Beginning May 7, 2025, state juvenile detention facilities cannot let male and female individuals share a minor's sleeping room. The Division of Juvenile Justice and Youth Services must also maintain separate male and female housing units in secure care facilities.
