What this bill would do
The "End Taxpayer Funding of Gender Experimentation Act of 2025" prohibits the use of federal funds for gender transition procedures. It bars these procedures in federal health care facilities and by federal employees. The bill also prevents federal funding for any health benefits plans that cover such procedures. It clarifies that these prohibitions apply to premium credits and cost-sharing reductions under the Affordable Care Act. However, individuals and entities may still purchase separate coverage using non-federal funds.
