Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle haven't budged on Senate Bill 480, which would prohibit gender transition procedures for minors.
SB 480 would prohibit gender transition procedures for minors. This bill would take away a parent’s right to choose gender affirming care for their children.
Republicans say this bill is about protecting kids. Democrats say the Indiana General Assembly is inserting itself into the hospital rooms of kids and their families. Democratic Rep. Robin Shackleford offered four amendments to the bill but all failed. They are listed below.Speaker of the House Rep. Todd Huston said his caucus feels that gender affirming care has too many long-term side effects to leave up to choice. SB 480 would also require minors that are already on hormones or puberty blockers to transition off of them in six months.
"Being on those drugs for a long period of time have medical consequences,” Huston said. “Other people in the medical community feel like the bill hits the right spot. The drugs should be used for certain medical conditions, not all.""This is health care for kids that are going through a transition period in their life. Let's leave it up to parents to make those decisions,” Democratic Minority Leader Rep. Phil GiaQuinta said.If it passes, it heads to Governor’s desk.
