2. The bill, SB164, would charge anybody who is in charge of the welfare of a child, including parents, with endangering the welfare of a child if they allow their child to obtain legal medical care, if that care consists of gender affirming care.

🚨 OPPOSE SB164 🚨 This bill lets public schools employ chaplains instead of qualified mental health professionals — undermining students’ rights & safety. Schools should support all students and uphold their right to religious freedom.

Major alert: Montana may be about to pass a major anti-trans bill that charges parents with felony endangerment of a child if their child is on trans youth care.
It would apply to parents just passing through the state, visiting.
Would be the first law of its kind to pass anywhere.

2. On Tuesday, Montana’s House considered Senate Bill 164, legislation that would classify gender-affirming care for transgender youth as felony child endangerment. The bill would not only target doctors and nurses, but also parents—including those merely passing through the state.

Happy to see 17 Montana State House Republicans kill an anti-trans bill (SB164) that is tantamount to legalized kidnapping by charging parents for “child abuse” for providing gender affirming care to their trans children in a bill equating GAC for minors to “felony child endangerment.”

6. This year, two states—Texas and Montana—have advanced efforts to classify transgender youth care as child abuse. While Texas bill has gone nowhere, Montana is very close to passing it - it is slated for a full floor vote on the House and has passed the Senate.

“Though the vote was expected to be close, a powerful floor speech from Rep. SJ Howell prompted a wave of Republican defections. The bill was defeated 40–58, becoming one of several anti-trans proposals to fail this year following strong speeches by Montana’s transgender and nonbinary lawmakers.”

child welfare is absolutely where they're heading. Montana has a bill making it's way through right now (SB164) which defines the provision or "procuring" of gender-affirming care for minors as felony child abuse, punishable by up to five years in prison.
