Resumen con IA People seeking compensation for injuries caused by medical treatments related to gender identity would have more time to file a lawsuit. While they must still act within two years of discovering an injury, the law would no longer set a strict six-year limit from the date the injury originally happened.

This bill amends the statute of limitations for medical malpractice for a person who is seeking damages resulting from injuries sustained during patient care for cross-sex hormone treatment, surgery, or any other medical intervention or device associated with the identity disorder. Under current law, the medical malpractice statute of limitations bars actions from being brought more than two years after the discovery of the injury or damage, but also bars actions from being brought more than six years after the injury has occurred for all causes of actions. The bill removes the six-year limitation for injuries arising from treatment of identity disorder but provides that the claimant must still bring the action within two years of discovery of the injury.
