North Dakota governor signs ban on transgender health care for minors.

North Dakota's Republican Governor Doug Burgum signed a bill into law that restricts transgender health care in the state, making it a crime to give gender-affirming care to people younger than 18. The new law takes immediate effect and allows prosecutors to charge a health care provider with a felony for performing sex reassignment surgery on a minor. North Dakota joins at least 13 other states that have enacted laws restricting or banning gender-affirming care for minors.
