Good morning! Our priority bill, HB 682, which will help those who have suffered harm from “gender-affirming care” is being heard on 2nd Reading early this afternoon on the House floor. This is a good bill and will provide an extended period of time to sue in a medical malpractice suit as well as require insurance companies to cover detransition care if they also cover gender transition services.
Please call or email these moderate Republicans and urge their support of HB 682:
