HB 3616 bans social transitioning assistance for minors by public school employees, government workers, and health facility employees. The bill defines social transitioning as using a different name, pronouns, clothing, or hairstyle to reflect a gender identity different from a minor’s biological sex. It requires school staff to notify parents if they become aware that a student is socially transitioning. Violations by public schools result in loss of state funding, and violations by healthcare providers are punishable by civil fines and potential license suspension​.
