The Florida House next week could give final approval to a controversial plan that would bar doctors and other healthcare providers from offering treatments such as puberty blockers and hormone therapy to transgender minors.
The House is scheduled to take up the issue (HB 1421 and SB 254) during a floor session Tuesday.
The Senate on April 4 passed its version of the bill. The plan would largely put into law rules approved by state medical boards to prevent doctors from providing the treatments to minors.
