Georgia Senate bill would cut funding for adult gender-affirming care, but it may have cloudy future

Georgia's State Senate passed a bill that would block public funding for gender-affirming care for adults, impacting state employees and others, with a vote of 33-19 on Tuesday.
Senate Bill 39, sponsored by Senator Blake Tillery, needs approval from the House and the Governor to become law by April 4.
The bill aims to close a loophole that allowed gender-affirming care for minors through state insurance, as stated by Tillery.
Opponents argue the bill could violate federal law and claim it discriminates against transgender individuals, with concerns about its constitutionality raised by Senate Minority Leader Harold Jones II.
