Protect Minors from Medical Malpractice Act of 2025

This bill would let people who had gender-transition medical procedures as minors sue the medical provider if they were harmed. They could seek money for damages and legal costs, and they would have up to 30 years after turning 18 to file a case. It also says no federal law can force a medical provider to perform a gender-transition procedure. If a state requires providers to perform these procedures, that state would lose federal funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

The bill defines gender-transition procedures to include certain surgeries or hormone treatments that change a person’s body to a sex different from their biological sex. It does not include care for people with certain medical conditions affecting sex development, treatment for problems caused by a past transition procedure, or emergency care to prevent death or serious harm. The bill would take effect as soon as it becomes law.

• Who is affected: minors who had gender-transition procedures; medical providers; states that mandate such procedures.
• What changes: harmed individuals can sue; providers cannot be forced by federal law to perform these procedures; states that require them risk loss of federal health funding.
• When: effective upon enactment; lawsuits allowed up to age 48.
