HB 3130 broadens Oklahoma’s existing ban on gender-transition procedures for minors and adds more enforcement teeth. It does not just ban the procedures themselves; it also goes after referrals and aiding and abetting, including out of state, and it bars state agencies, employees, contractors, and public institutions from using state resources to support any of it. It also says parents cannot be treated as abusive or lose custody just because they refuse to consent to a transition procedure or related social transition for their child.
HB 3130 would bar Oklahoma agencies and public institutions from using state money for “gender transition procedures,” from referring/encouraging them, or from contracting with entities that perform or promote them—and it says a state employee who violates this can be immediately fired and lose public-employment benefits.
It also says a parent refusing consent for a child’s gender transition (including “social transition”) can’t be treated as abuse/neglect or used to take custody, and it creates potential civil liability/injunctions if government actors violate that.
On the medical side, it spells out what counts as “gender transition procedures” for minors and makes it unprofessional conduct—and a felony—for a provider to perform, attempt, or refer a minor for those procedures, plus it bans “aiding or abetting” even if it involves out-of-state care.
It also creates a private right of action with damages/attorney fees and declares an emergency, so it would take effect immediately once passed and approved.
