Protecting Our Kids from Harmful Research Act
A bill to prohibit the use of Federal funds for gender transition for minors.
The bill, SB5202, proposes to stop the use of federal funds for gender transition treatments for minors. This means that if the bill passes, federal money would not be used to pay for treatments like hormone therapy or surgeries for children who are undergoing gender transition.
This bill would affect minors who are seeking gender transition treatments and their families, as well as healthcare providers who might offer these treatments using federal funding. It could limit access to these treatments for minors who depend on federal funds for healthcare.
The bill was introduced on July 30, 2026, and has been referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions for further review. It is currently in its early stages of the legislative process, with the committee set to evaluate its merits and potential impact.
