The House on Wednesday approved the bill, which would impose felony penalties of up to 10 years in prison on physicians who provide puberty blockers, hormone therapy, or surgical care to patients under 18 for the purpose of gender transition. Introduced by Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, the bill would also expose parents and others who consent to or help minors access that care to criminal liability.

Jeffries delivered an 8-hour and 44-minute speech opposing the GOP's reconciliation bill, aiming to delay the House vote on significant cuts to public spending.
