North Dakota House Passes Bill Banning Transgender Treatment For Minors

HB 1254 would make it a class B felony – on par with manslaughter and punishable by a 10-year, $20,000 fine – to perform gender-affirming surgery on someone under 18.

“Final vote shows 66 yea, 25 nay, 3 absent/not voting. House bill 1254 is declared passed,” said House Speaker, Rep. Dennis Johnson, R-Devils Lake.

Another bill that passed – HB 1474 – would require collection of vital statistics to align with sex assigned at birth.

“You shouldn’t be finding a lot of prostate cancer among females, which you would if you don’t actually report based on their biological sex,” said Rep. SuAnn Olson, R-Baldwin.
