Utah House votes down proposed study of transgender youth - Salt Lake Tribune

House lawmakers on Monday tossed out a bill that called for a study of the “diagnosis, treatment, and care” of transgender minors and of a hormone sometimes used to delay puberty.

Rep. Brad Daw told his House colleagues that some of the medications prescribed for transgender youth “give me great cause for concern" and asked them to approve a review of the scientific research on the subject. Without any debate, the chamber rejected his request by a resounding 17-55 vote.

The legislation would’ve asked the Utah Department of Health to select one or more medical experts to study the care of transgender minors and, more specifically, certain hormone treatments. The bill, HB449, indicated that the results of the review should be ready for presentation to state lawmakers by Nov. 30.

The bill is quite a distance from the legislation Daw, R-Orem, initially had in mind, which would’ve banned surgeries for transgender minors. Daw said his original proposal “met with significant resistance and a lot of concern from the community,” so he opted to ask for a study instead.
