Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt signed a bill into law on Monday banning health care workers from performing gender-altering procedures and providing hormone therapies to minors.

Under Senate Bill 613 (pdf), which passed by a 38–8 vote on April 27, doctors are barred from performing transgender surgeries on anyone under the age of 18. The new law also makes it illegal to prescribe gender-altering medication to minors, such as puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones.
