The original version of HB174 would have largely ended the provision allowing some minors to continue receiving gender-affirming care after being grandfathered in under the original ban passed in 2023, SB16. After much negotiating, the final version of the bill allows minors who are at least 16 years old and already taking hormone therapy on the effective date of the bill to continue their treatment. However, the bill requires all other minors to end their gender affirming care by January 28, 2027.
