The state of Florida is fining five Medicaid healthcare providers for violating Florida's rule against using taxpayer funds to provide transgender treatments on minors.
The legislation imposes a felony charge on doctors who perform sex-change surgeries on children, with penalties of up to 10 years in prison and $20,000 in fines.
A new bill in the Florida legislature would make it a misdemeanor for transgender individuals to not use the bathrooms associated with their sex at birth, resulting in criminal charges, jail time, and fines.
