Utah Gov. Spencer Cox has signed a bill that bans hormone treatment and surgical procedures for minors seeking gender-affirming care.

Senate Bill 16, which the governor signed a day after it was sent to his desk by the Utah Legislature, prohibits health care providers from “providing a hormonal transgender treatment to new patients who were not diagnosed with gender dysphoria before a certain date” and prohibits them from “performing sex characteristic surgical procedures on a minor for the purpose of effectuating a sex change.

The non-profit said that “further studies of hormone treatment, as required in this bill, are unnecessary as there is already a wealth of scientific evidence and consensus among major medical and professional organizations supporting hormone treatment for transgender youth.” The burdens placed on health care providers by the bill “may discourage them from providing care for transgender youth,” added the ACLU.
