According to a report from the AZ Mirror, Republican Sen. Wendy Rogers proposed the Senate Bill 1045, which would make transgender health care for minors illegal.
Under the legislation, doctors would be unable to perform gender-affirming surgeries or prescribe testosterone or estrogen for trans youth under the age of 18.
If any medical staff is caught providing these health care services they will be hit with a Class 4 felony – which could lead to a three-year prison sentence.
The anti-trans bill also targets schools and their teachers and administrators. If a minor opens up about their gender identity with a staff member, the latter would be required to report the conversation to the child’s parents or guardian.
