Protect Children’s Innocence Act

This bill would change federal criminal law about medical or physical procedures on minors. It says section 116 of title 18 would be updated to address genital and other bodily mutilation of minors, and “chemical castration” of minors. In short, it aims to protect children by revising the rules in that part of federal law.
