The Supreme Court will decide whether Tennessee’s law restricting gender-affirming care for minors violates the Constitution, amid a broader push from states that have passed similar laws and others that target transgender individuals.
The justices announced Monday they agreed to decide United States v. Jonathan Skrmetti et al., presumably in the next term that starts in October with a decision by the end of June 2025.
The appeal brought by the Biden administration could be nationally significant on an issue that has become a cultural and political battleground, as Tennessee and more than a dozen states have enacted restrictions on gender-affirming care.
