| Description | Kentucky passed SB 150 in 2023 which targets doctors from prescribing gender-affirming care to minors under 18 and threatens revoking medical licenses as punishment. However; SB 150 did not target the trans youth patients including their parents directly according to the Kentucky Youth Law Project. This means trans youth can still receive gender-affirming care from out-of-state providers under no restrictions. |
