This bill establishes a time limit (statute of limitations) for legal actions related to youth gender transition procedures performed on individuals under 26 years of age. Specifically, it states that if a person wants to file a lawsuit for intentional or negligent acts related to gender transition procedures they underwent as a youth, they must do so before reaching the age of 38.
Key Points:
Applies to gender transition procedures performed on youths under 26.
The lawsuit must be filed before the individual turns 38—meaning they have a limited window to bring a legal claim (from the time of the procedure until age 38).
The bill sets a specific deadline for legal actions related to these medical procedures.
This change likely aims to limit the amount of time that someone can pursue legal claims related to medical procedures they underwent as a young person, once they have reached adulthood.
Summary
The bill requires that causes of action for intentional or negligent
acts constituting youth gender transition procedures performed on a youth under 26 years of age must be brought before the youth reaches 38 years of age.
