A health care provider or a public body shall not knowingly perform or offer to perform on a minor, or administer or offer to administer to a minor, a medical procedure if the purpose of the performance or administration of the medical procedure is to: (1) enable the minor to identify with, or live or present as, a purported identity inconsistent with that minor's sex; or (2) treat the minor's purported discomfort or distress from a discordance between the minor's sex and the minor's asserted or perceived identity.

This section supersedes any common law rule regarding a minor's ability to consent to a medical procedure.

A health care provider or public body shall provide parental notification to at least one parent of a minor no later than seven calendar days after the health care provider or public body observes or has reasonable cause to believe that the parent's minor has taken a gender-affirming action while in the presence of the health care provider or while on the premises of the public body or while interacting with individuals employed by or representing the health care provider or public body."

The parent or next of kin of a deceased minor may bring a wrongful death action against a health care provider, an individual or a public body alleged to have violated the Hormone Therapy and Puberty Blocker Child Protection Act if: (1) the minor's death is the result of the physical or emotional harm inflicted upon the minor as a result of the violation; and (2) the parent of the minor did not consent on behalf of the minor to the conduct that constituted the violation.
