Gov. Tim Walz on Wednesday signed an executive order designed to protect gender-affirming health care access in Minnesota, a step he says will make Minnesota safer for the LGBTQ+ community as they face increased political attacks nationwide.
Finally a state in the news for a trans rights law and not a trans oppression law
It instructs state agencies to protect access to these health care services and unless compelled by court order, they are to not comply with investigations in other states where surgeries or treatments or banned or seriously limited.
The order comes as the DFL-led legislature is also considering a similar measure, "trans refuge" legislation, as it's known, designed to shield patients, providers and families from out-of-state legal action.
Executive order is dandy - make it law.
