Chloe Cole Act of 2026
To provide a private right of action for children and the parents of children whose healthy body parts have been damaged by medical professionals practicing or participating in certain interventions.
The Chloe Cole Act of 2026 aims to allow children and their parents to take legal action against medical professionals who cause harm to healthy body parts through specific interventions. This bill, introduced by a large group of Republican co-sponsors, seeks to establish a legal path for these individuals to seek justice and compensation for damages.
This legislation would primarily impact children who have experienced harm due to medical interventions and their families. By enabling them to file a lawsuit, the bill seeks to provide a legal recourse and potential compensation for those affected.
As of February 23, 2026, the bill has been introduced and referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary. It has successfully passed a committee report on July 15, 2026, with a vote of 15 in favor and 8 against. The bill is now ready for further consideration in the House.
