"The Pediatric Secretive Transitions Parental Rights Act bans caregivers from facilitating a pediatric sex transition or social transition without informing and obtaining consent from a minor child's parents or guardians."
"The legislation defines social transition as the process by which an individual goes from identifying with and living as a gender that corresponds to the individual's sex to identifying with and living as a gender different from the individual's sex."
"Covered entities must notify a student's parents within 72 hours if they request to be referred to using new pronouns or a different name than their legal name."
"The bill aims to close a loophole in the state's anti-trans laws, as cosponsor state Sen. Ben Toews reportedly put it during the state Senate's debate on the legislation."
Idaho Governor Brad Little signed the Pediatric Secretive Transitions Parental Rights Act, which requires child care providers, health care providers, and educational institutions to notify parents if minors express a desire to transition socially or medically. The law aims to close a loophole in existing anti-trans legislation by ensuring that any social transition is communicated to parents within 72 hours. The bill defines social transition as changes in name, pronouns, or appearance that do not align with the individual's sex assigned at birth.
