AI Generated Summary

Purpose of the Bill

The purpose of this bill is to eliminate provisions related to gender-affirming care in Minnesota. The bill aims to adjust existing statutes that address custody jurisdiction, arrest procedures, and specific health care provisions, primarily targeting those that previously included considerations for gender-affirming health care.

Main Provisions

  • Child Custody Jurisdiction: The bill seeks to revise the conditions under which Minnesota courts have jurisdiction to make initial child custody determinations. It specifically removes considerations related to the child's presence in the state for the purpose of obtaining gender-affirming health care when determining custody.

  • Amendments to Statutes: The bill amends various sections of the Minnesota Statutes, such as 518D.201, 518D.204, and others. These changes are made to exclude provisions that might consider gender-affirming care as a factor in legal determinations, such as custody or arrest-related procedures.

  • Repeal of Statutes: The bill repeals certain statutes, namely sections 62Q.585, 260.925, and 543.23, which likely contained provisions or protections related to gender-affirming health care.

Significant Changes

  • The bill specifically targets the removal of gender-affirming health care from being a consideration in legal contexts, such as custody determinations, by repealing and amending statutes that currently reference or support such care.
