TO PROTECT CONSCIENCE RIGHTS FOR HEALTH CARE
ENTITIES WITH REGARD TO GENDER REASSIGNMENT
SURGERY.

(a) Point of Order.--It shall not be in order in the Senate
to consider any bill, joint resolution, motion, amendment,
amendment between the Houses, or conference report that
provides funding to a Federal agency or program or to a State
or local government, if such agency, program, or government
subjects any institutional or individual health care entity
to discrimination on the basis that the health care entity
does not provide, pay for, provide coverage of, or refer for
gender transition or reassignment surgeries, procedures, or
medications.
(b) Waiver and Appeal.--Subsection (a) may be waived or
suspended in the Senate only by an affirmative vote of three-
fifths of the Members, duly chosen and sworn. An affirmative
vote of three-fifths of the Members of the Senate, duly
chosen and sworn, shall be required to sustain an appeal of
the ruling of the Chair on a point of order raised under
subsection (a).
