5 min read
Attorney General Andrew Bailey issued the emergency regulations on Monday to halt "experimental gender transition interventions" for minors. He outlined a series of required "guardrails" for any treatment for minors, including informed consent and an 18-month waiting period to receive the care. As an emergency rule, the timeline for approval from the secretary of state and publication in the Missouri Review is "truncated," according to Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft. If approved, Ashcroft said the rules would go into effect in "about 10 days," and would be in place for 180 days.
, which is cited in Bailey's release, maintains the position that "medical intervention for transgender youth and adults is effective, relatively safe , and has been established as the standard of care." Ensure at least annually that the patient's gender identity is not the result of a "social contagion."At least seven states have already enacted restrictions or bans on such care: Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Mississippi, Tennessee, Utah, and South Dakota. And more than 20 states are considering bills this year to restrict or ban gender-affirming care.
