The law, passed by Republican lawmakers and signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis in May 2023, barred doctors and nurses from prescribing or administering transition-related medication to those under 18 and exposed medical providers to criminal liability and professional discipline if they did so, among other provisions.
Judge Hinkle’s ruling on Tuesday also invalidated a part of the law that said transition care for adults “may not be prescribed, administered, or performed except by a physician.” That paves the way for nurse practitioners, physician assistants and other medical professionals to provide such care.
He also struck down a provision requiring adults seeking transition care to meet in person with a doctor before starting treatment.
