Ohio GA passes bill prohibiting gender-affirming care for minors

Earlier this week, the Ohio General Assembly passed a bill that would prohibit minors from receiving gender-affirming care and would bar transgender females from playing girls’ or women’s sports (Source: “Legislature sends Gov. DeWine bill combining bans on transgender sports and health care,” Cleveland Plain Dealer, Dec. 13).
 
The legislation now heads to Gov. DeWine for his signature or veto.
 
If Gov. Mike DeWine signs HB 68, Ohio will become the 23rd state to enact a minor medical care ban and the 24th state since 2020 to enact a sports ban.
