The New Hampshire Home has handed a invoice banning intercourse change surgical procedures for minors.

Home Invoice 619, handed on Thursday with a 188-175 vote, additionally bans docs from recommending out-of-state services to minors or their households.

Lawmakers debated for about an hour earlier than in the end passing it.

“Adolescent genital gender reassignment surgery generally lacks both adequate information for informed consent and involves a high risk of coercion for parental consent when parents believe that they are faced with a choice between their child committing suicide or consenting to their child’s genital gender reassignment surgeries,” the invoice states.

The laws cites a scarcity of information on the long-term results of genital gender reassignment surgical procedure on minors.

“In the absence of high quality data to prove safety and efficacy, including long term outcomes, only people over the age of majority should receive genital gender reassignment surgery in the state of New Hampshire,” the invoice continues.

Rep. Erica Layon said through the debate interval, “we need to wait, we need to pause,” in keeping with a report from In-Depth NH.

“Is it OK to tell parents the procedure is safe and effective if there is no data?” Rep. Layon requested.

Democrat Rep. Gerri Cannon, who’s transgender, argued that three physicians interviewed them to ensure the surgical procedure was what he wished.

“This is not about surgery, but about why we are considering putting medical processes into New Hampshire law that is constantly changing,” Cannon stated. The lawmaker added, “(medical providers) are constantly learning new ways to care for patients and new techniques.”

“It is not right for New Hampshire, it is not right for the transgender community,” Cannon stated. “I hope young people do not take this message badly, I am concerned about the health of many young transgender people.”

The invoice can also be anticipated to cross the Senate.
