About H.4624
Bill Prohibiting Physicians from Providing Medically Necessary Healthcare for Transgender Youth
Lawmakers in South Carolina are considering House Bill 4624, a bill that would prohibit transgender people under the age of 18 from receiving essential medical care and create a school climate where they are unable to be themselves.
The bill also requires teachers and staff at schools in South Carolina to share with students’ parents if they learn that a student’s “perception of [their] gender or sex is inconsistent with the minor's sex.” In effect, the bill essentially requires teachers to “out” transgender students to their parents, potentially before they are ready to share.
