AI Generated Summary

Purpose of the Bill

The bill aims to alter Minnesota's legal stance on gender-affirming care by removing existing provisions that allowed for child custody jurisdiction based on a child's presence in the state for such care.

Main Provisions

  • Child Custody Jurisdiction: The bill changes how Minnesota courts determine initial child custody cases by removing the provision that allowed jurisdiction based solely on the child's presence in the state to receive gender-affirming health care.
  • Repealed Statutes: It repeals several Minnesota statutes related to gender-affirming care, although specific statutes affected were not detailed in the excerpt.
  • Limits on Legal Impact: The bill seeks to limit the impact of certain state laws related to gender-affirming care.

Significant Changes to Existing Law

  • Removal of Gender-Affirming Care Provision: The existing law allowing Minnesota to have jurisdiction over child custody cases when a child is present in the state for gender-affirming care is being repealed. This changes the way jurisdiction was previously considered in relation to children's health care needs, specifically gender-related health care.
