Jamie Reed Protecting Our Kids from Child Abuse Act

This bill would allow lawsuits against medical facilities, universities, affiliated hospitals, and doctors who perform gender-transition procedures on people under 18, holding them responsible for any physical or mental harm caused. People who received these procedures as minors would have up to 30 years after turning 18 to file a claim, and the rule would apply even to procedures done before the bill became law. The bill also bans federal funding for gender-transition procedures on minors and for clinics, universities, or hospitals connected to those procedures. Gender-transition procedures covered by the bill include surgeries and hormone therapies meant to change someone's body to match a different sex, but the bill does not cover treatments for certain medical conditions like ambiguous biological sex characteristics or complications from a previous procedure.
