The Extends Time Bill
New bill extends time to sue over gender treatment bans
Relative to the statute of limitations for bringing a private right of action for violation of the statute prohibiting medical procedures and treatments intended to alter a minor's gender, authorizing the application of sunscreen in schools and camps without a licensed health care provider's note or prescription, and establishing a skin cancer prevention education program.
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
This bill would let people sue longer if they feel harmed by laws against gender treatments for minors.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
If this bill passes, it could lead to more lawsuits against people involved in gender treatment decisions for minors. This might scare some doctors and parents, but it also gives people a chance to seek justice if they feel wronged.
