A bill to make it a felony to prescribe puberty-blocking medications or hormones as transgender treatments for minors won approval today in the House Health Committee.
The bill by Republican Sen. Shay Shelnutt of Trussville and Republican Rep. Wes Allen of Troy would also ban transgender surgeries on minors, which officials have said are not done in Alabama now.
The committee passed the bill on a voice vote, so there was not a listing of who voted yes or no.
The bill has had strong support from Republicans and passed the Senate 23-4. It moves to the House floor.
