press release.Arkansas legislators overrode Gov. Asa Hutchinson’s veto last month to pass House Bill 1570 into law. It bars doctors from providing gender-affirming care to people under 18 or even referring them for such care.
It also bans the use of state funds or insurance coverage for gender-affirming health care for trans minors and allows private insurers to refuse coverage for gender-affirming care for people of any age.
