This bill prohibits the state from using public funds in order to conduct procedures that are not “medically necessary” for prisoners. While CPAC would prefer to see legislators use bolder and less ambiguous language in their bills, it still supports efforts to prevent taxpayers from being forced to pay for radical gender surgeries and supported this bill as a step in the right direction. The House passed this bill on August 8, 2023 by a vote of 86-9 and the bill later became law.
