North Dakota restricts trans health care.

TL;DR Summary
North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum has signed a bill into law that restricts transgender health care, making it a crime to give gender-affirming care to people under 18. The new law allows prosecutors to charge a health care provider with a felony for performing sex reassignment surgery on a minor and a misdemeanor for giving gender-affirming medication to a trans child. The American Civil Liberties Union of North Dakota denounced the new law as "a vast government overreach that undermines the fundamental rights of parents" and violates constitutional guarantees of equal protection and due process.
