The legislative session is finally over. For the first three months of every year, our state lawmakers gather, debate, and pass laws to respond to the real and pressing needs of their constituents.
We urge Governor Reeves to veto House Bill 1125, the so-called Regulate Experimental Adolescent Procedures (REAP) Act. This bill bans medically necessary, health care treatments for gender dysphoria among transgender youth under 18 years of age. It would prohibit medical professionals from providing care, effective immediately, and deny parents their fundamental right to make decisions for their children.
