ATLANTA — A Georgia Senate panel on Wednesday passed a bill that would prohibit medical professionals from giving transgender children certain hormones or surgical treatment that assists them in aligning with their gender identity.
The House Health and Human Services Committee passed Senate Bill 140 on a 10-4 party-line vote, with Republicans supporting the measure.
The vote came hours after U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., stopped by the Senate and urged its members to “protect our kids here in Georgia.”
