Texas Rep. Brent Money (R-Greenville) filed a bill on Wednesday that seeks to ban medical providers from providing gender-affirming care to transgender adults.

House Bill 3399 appears to build off Senate Bill 14, which was signed into law in 2023 by Gov. Greg Abbott and banned gender-affirming care for minors. The new bill, by replacing the word "child" in the original bill with the word "person," would expand the ban to apply to adults.
