Stop Gender Trafficking of Minors Act
To amend chapter 55 of title 18, United States Code, to establish a criminal offense for the transportation of a minor for a gender transition procedure.
The Stop Gender Trafficking of Minors Act, or HB7420, was introduced on February 9, 2026.

The proposed law seeks to protect minors from potentially harmful and irreversible medical interventions.
This legislation would affect individuals and entities involved in transporting minors for gender transition procedures. If passed, it could lead to legal action against those who facilitate such procedures, potentially impacting medical providers and guardians who support minors in their transition.
As of the latest update on February 9, 2026, the bill has been introduced in the House and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary and the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. It is now under consideration by these committees, which will determine the next steps in the legislative process.
