Prohibit certain coverage for gender reassignment surgery
Refer to Committee
Summary
The bill amends Ohio law to bar Medicaid and health insurance plans offered to state and local government employees, including elected officials, from providing coverage for gender reassignment surgery. Local authorities must certify each year that they are complying, and the attorney general must report any non‑compliant jurisdictions to the tax commissioner. The prohibition takes precedence over any conflicting collective‑bargaining agreements.
