"H.B. 822, named the Pediatric Secretive Transitions Parental Rights Act, aims to close a 'loophole' in the state's anti-trans laws, as cosponsor state Sen. Ben Toews (R) reportedly put it during the state Senate's debate on the legislation."
"The bill bans folks who care for minors from facilitating a pediatric sex transition or social transition without informing and obtaining informed consent from a minor child's parents or guardians."
"The covered entities must notify a student's parents within 72 hours if they request to be referred to using new pronouns or a different name than their legal name."
Idaho's legislature passed H.B. 822, requiring child care, health care, and educational providers to inform parents if minors express a desire for social transitions. The bill aims to close a loophole in the state's anti-trans laws, which previously did not cover social transitions. It defines social transition as changes in identity, name, pronouns, and appearance. Providers must notify parents within 72 hours of any such requests, or face penalties for aiding a child's transition without consent.
