SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) — A controversial gender reassignment bill is scheduled to arrive on the House floor for debate on Wednesday.
House Bill 1057 passed out of committee last week on an 8 to 5 vote. HB1057 would make it illegal to perform gender reassignment procedures on children under the age of 16, including hormone treatments.
Both sides of the bill say they are hearing from an increasing number of people ahead of Wednesday’s debate.
