Chloe Cole Act

# Chloe Cole Act Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** The Chloe Cole Act (HR 5483) is a proposed federal law that would restrict gender-affirming medical treatments for minors. While specific provisions aren't detailed in the available information, bills with this name typically aim to prohibit or limit puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and surgical procedures for transgender youth under 18 years old. The bill would likely establish federal standards that states could use as a model for their own restrictions. **Who It Affects:** This legislation would primarily impact transgender and gender-nonconforming minors seeking medical care, as well as healthcare providers who treat them. It could also affect parents making medical decisions for their children and medical institutions providing these services. **Current Status:** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet advanced to a full vote in the House of Representatives.

This is an early stage in the legislative process. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Robert F. Onder, a Republican from Missouri's 3rd congressional district.
