Referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committees on the Judiciary, and Ways and Means, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
This bill would block the use of federal money for gender transition procedures. Federal programs could not pay for these services, and federal hospitals and clinics could not provide them. Federal funds also could not be used for any health plan that covers these procedures. People, employers, and states could still buy separate coverage using only non‑federal dollars. Care for infections or injuries caused by a prior procedure would still be allowed .
It would also apply to Affordable Care Act subsidies. Premium tax credits and cost‑sharing help could not be used for plans that cover gender transition procedures. Small employers could not claim the small‑employer health insurance tax credit for plans that include this coverage. Multi‑State plans on the exchanges would have to follow the same rule. These changes would start for plan years and tax years beginning one year after the bill becomes law. The bill also includes definitions for terms like “gender transition” and “sex” to set its scope .
