Starting January 28, 2027, this bill expands Utah's existing ban on gender-affirming hormone treatments for minors by prohibiting health care providers from prescribing cross-sex hormones or puberty blockers to any minor who was younger than 16 years old when the bill takes effect or who had not yet begun cross-sex hormone treatment by that date — and it removes a previously required state medical evidence review of these treatments. Minors who are 16 or older and already receiving cross-sex hormones when the bill takes effect may continue treatment until January 2027, after which they also lose access.
