Under the proposed legislation, school nurses and officials would be legally bound to inform the parents of a student reporting gender dysphoria.
The proposed legislation comes in the form of two bills filed in the state chamber on Thursday, namely Senate Bill 140 and SB 141.
The first was sponsored by Republican State Senator Carden Summers and 21 others, while the second was sponsored by Republican State Senator Clint Dixon and 14 otherIf the two bills pass, teens with a different gender identity than the one assigned to them at birth won't be allowed to receive gender-affirming care in the state of Georgia.

"The General Assembly has an obligation to protect children, whose brains and executive functioning are still developing, from undergoing unnecessary and irreversible medical treatment," the text of SB 140 reads. According to the bill—which remains vague on some terms—exceptions would only be allowed for"for the purpose of sex reassignment where such treatments are deemed medically necessary."
