Bill to limit treatment for transgender youth passes Georgia House panel

ATLANTA — A measure to prohibit medical professionals from giving transgender children certain hormones or surgical treatment passed a House panel Tuesday on a party-line vote.

Senate Bill 140 passed the House Public Health Committee 12-10, with Republicans supporting the measure.
