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.
SB 140 would ban health care professionals from giving hormones such as estrogen or testosterone to transgender minors. Doctors also would not be allowed to perform surgeries on children seeking to align with their gender identity.
