The Chloe Cole Act of 2026 aims to empower children and their parents to take legal action against medical professionals for harm caused by certain medical interventions related to gender transition treatments. These interventions, which include puberty blockers, sex hormones, and surgical procedures intended to alter a child's body to align with a gender identity different from their biological sex, are defined clearly within the legislation. However, the Act excludes medical procedures aimed at treating genuine medical conditions from this definition.
