Title 1, United States Code
CHAPTER 4--PROHIBITING TAXPAYER-FUNDED GENDER TRANSITION PROCEDURES Sec. 301. Prohibition on funding for gender transition procedures. Sec. 302. Prohibition on funding for health benefits plans that cover gender transition procedures. Sec. 303. Limitation on Federal facilities and employees. Sec. 304. Construction relating to separate coverage. Sec. 305. Construction relating to the use of non-Federal funds for health coverage. Sec. 306. Construction relating to complications arising from gender transition procedures. Sec. 307. Definitions.
This addition creates a new chapter that establishes prohibitions and definitions regarding taxpayer-funded gender transition procedures.
-
Sec. 301
No funds authorized or appropriated by Federal law, and none of the funds in any trust fund to which funds are authorized or appropriated by Federal law, shall be expended for any gender transition procedures.
This provision explicitly prohibits the expenditure of federal funds for gender transition procedures.
-
Sec. 302
No funds authorized or appropriated by Federal law, and none of the funds in any trust fund to which funds are authorized or appropriated by Federal law, shall be expended for health benefits coverage that includes coverage of gender transition procedures.
This provision prohibits federal funding for health plans that cover gender transition procedures.
-
Sec. 303
No health care service furnished-- (1) by or in a health care facility owned or operated by the Federal Government; or (2) by any physician or other individual employed by the Federal Government to provide health care services within the scope of the physician's or individual's employment, may include gender transition procedures.
This change prohibits federal facilities and employees from providing gender transition procedures.
-
Sec. 304
Nothing in this chapter shall be construed as prohibiting any individual, entity, or State or locality from purchasing separate coverage for gender transition procedures or health benefits coverage that includes gender transition procedures so long as such coverage is paid for entirely using only funds not authorized or appropriated by Federal law and such coverage shall not be purchased using matching funds required for a federally subsidized program, including a State's or locality's contribution of Medicaid matching funds.
This provision allows for the purchase of separate coverage for gender transition procedures as long as it does not use federal funds.
-
Sec. 305
Nothing in this chapter shall be construed as restricting the ability of any non-Federal health benefits coverage provider from offering coverage for gender transition procedures, or the ability of a State or locality to contract separately with such a provider for such coverage, so long as only funds not authorized or appropriated by Federal law are used and such coverage shall not be purchased using matching funds required for a federally subsidized program, including a State's or locality's contribution of Medicaid matching funds.
This allows non-federal providers to offer coverage for gender transition procedures without restrictions from federal law.
-
Sec. 306
Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to apply to the treatment of any infection, injury, disease, or disorder that has been caused by or exacerbated by the performance of a gender transition procedure.
This provision clarifies that the prohibitions do not extend to treating complications arising from gender transition procedures.
-
Sec. 201
In general.--Subparagraph (A) of section 36B(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is amended by inserting before the period at the end the following: "or any health plan that includes coverage for gender transition procedures, as defined in section 307 of title 1, United States Code (other than any procedure described in section 306 of such title)."
This amendment restricts premium credits and cost-sharing reductions under the ACA for health plans that provide coverage for gender transition procedures.
