Georgia Senate votes along party lines to ban state medical coverage of transgender procedures +

Athens Banner-Herald +

«<span style="font-family:serif … «<span style="font-family:serif; color:#800;">The Georgia Senate passed legislation Tuesday that would prohibit state health insurance plans from paying for medical care related to changing gender. [/] Senate Bill 39 was adopted by Republicans on a 33-19 party-line vote. [/] The measure comes after a similar vote last week when the Senate passed a proposed ban on participation of transgender athletes in school sports.</span>» ... «<span style="font-family:serif; color:#800;">The legislation would prohibit the use of state health benefits coverage for "gender-affirming care." It would also ban state-owned health-care facilities and physicians who work for the state from providing such care. [/] The legislation defines such care to include hormone therapy and sex reassignment surgery. [/] Republicans voted down an amendment offered by Democrats that would have carved out an exception for mental health care related to gender identity. Tillery said the underlying legislation would clearly allow such services, but Democrats insisted the language was unclear.</span>»e language was unclear.» +
