Modifying WV regulations on pubertal modulation, hormonal therapy, and gender reassignment
The purpose of this bill is to update the state's regulation of pubertal modulation and hormonal therapy to better protect the health and safety of minors in light of recent scientific developments that further demonstrate the harm of these drugs and surgeries on minors. The bill also applies the enumerated prohibitions to physician assistants and advance practice registered nurses.
2025 Regular Session
A physician assistant may not assist in providing gender reassignment surgery or provide gender altering medication to a person who is under 18 years of age.
The provision of gender reassignment surgery or gender altering medication to a person who is under 18 years of age shall, upon an adverse ruling by the appropriate licensing board, be considered unprofessional conduct and shall be subject to discipline by the licensing entity with jurisdiction over the physician assistant.
