LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas, March 30, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – The Arkansas Senate voted 28-7 on Monday to give final approval to legislation that would prohibit sex-reassignment surgery or hormone treatments to minors afflicted with gender confusion, with the fate of the potential law now in Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson’s hands.

The bill specifically bars physicians from performing or referring for “gender transition procedures” on residents under age 18, as well as taxpayer dollars from being spent on such procedures for minors. 

“Gender transition procedures” are defined as “ any medical or surgical service” that seeks to “alter or remove physical or anatomical characteristics or features that are typical for the individual’s biological sex”; or “instill or create physiological or anatomical characteristics that resemble a sex different from the individual’s biological sex.”
