AUSTIN– Senator Donna Campbell, MD ( R- New Braunfels) celebrated final passage of SB 14, the Children’s Gender Protection Act. The bill protects Texas children from medically unnecessary, irreversible gender modification treatments, including hormone and surgical procedures.
“Our children need counseling and love, not blades and drugs,” Campbell said.
“This bill is the compassionate solution to protect vulnerable children from these medically unnecessary and irreversible gender modification treatments. As a medical doctor, I am pleased that the Legislature has recognized the reality of the science of adolescent care and stepped in to protect young Texans.”
“I am grateful to the House author of this bill and my fellow physician, Representative Tom Oliverson. He has been an indispensable partner throughout this process. My sincere thanks also go out to Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick for making my bill his priority during this session, as well as my Senate and House colleagues who have supported SB 14 and fought to protect Texas children. I look forward to this critically important legislation being signed by Governor Abbott very soon,” concluded Senator Campbell.
