HB 26-1128

House Bill 26-1128, which has been signed into law, sets a time limit for young people who have undergone gender transition procedures to file legal claims against the healthcare providers if they believe there were intentional or negligent actions that caused them harm. This means that any such claim must be filed before the person turns 38 years old. The bill affects individuals who have received youth gender transition treatments and limits their ability to seek compensation for alleged medical errors related to these procedures later in life. Since it has been signed, this law is now active and enforceable in Colorado.
