        <text><![CDATA[ <p><b>Protecting Children From Experimentation Act of 2020</b></p> <p>This bill establishes a new criminal offense for performing gender reassignment medical interventions on minors. It also provides that a minor who receives such an intervention may bring a civil action against each person who performed that intervention.</p> <p>The bill defines these interventions as certain surgeries or the use of hormones to change the body of an individual to correspond to a sex that is discordant with the individual's biological sex. It excludes, however, interventions in cases where an individual has ambiguous external biological sex characteristics or where a physician has determined that an individual does not have normal sex chromosome structure, sex steroid hormone production, or sex steroid hormone action.</p> <p>An individual who performs these interventions on a minor is subject to criminal penalties&#8212;a fine, a prison term of up to five years, or both.</p> <p>A minor who receives these medical interventions may not be arrested or prosecuted for an offense under this bill. </p>]]></text>
