(WBAP/KLIF) Austin – Texas is on the verge of banning transgender minors from getting puberty blockers and hormone therapies.
On Wednesday, the Senate voted 19 – 12 to accept Senate Bill 14’s house version and send it to the desk of Governor Greg Abbott.
SB-14 was authored by Republican Senator Donna Campbell and would prohibit Trans Texans under 18 years of age, from receiving transition related medical treatments that include puberty blockers, hormone therapies and surgeries.
The bill would also require trans youth who were already receiving treatment, to be “weaned off” it in a medically appropriate manner.
If Senate bill 14 is signed into law, the ban would take effect September first.
