which would amend existing laws on female genital mutilation and make it a felony punishable of up to life in prison to provide gender affirming care to transgender children or to cross state lines to provide them such care. The bill was blocked in the Idaho Senate by Republican leaders, who stated their opposition to gender affirming treatment for children, but were worried the bill undermined parental rights. Arizona In March 2022, Arizona passed a law prohibiting gender-affirming surgery for minors. It will take effect in March 2023. Treatment for adults In August 2022, the state of Florida voted to require any trans adult seeking gender affirming healthcare to receive approval from the Florida Board of Medicine at least 24 hours in advance.
