| Description | Adults and Minors are able to still get gender affirming care in Ohio. Minors are unknown at this time due to an ongoing lawsuit about HB68. HB68 also known as the SAFE Act (Saving Ohio Adolescents from Experimentation), bans all gender affirming care and requires minors to "lean off" medications. Adults are able to get gender affirming care as Governor DeWine backed off his proposed plans to ban gender affirming care for adults. As of April 23rd 2024, Minors and Adults are freely still able to get gender affirming care |
