Idaho Legislature passes bill requiring schools/doctors to report ‘social transitions’ to parents

A bill aimed at ending what supporters call "secretive transitions" in Idaho schools and healthcare settings is heading to the Governor's desk. House Bill 822, also known as the Pediatric Secretive Transitions Parental Rights Act, passed the Idaho Senate on Monday in a 27–8 vote.

Opponents have criticized the bill, saying it forces trusted adults to either ‘out’ minors to their parents within 72 hours or face devastating civil penalties.
