When gender-affirming care for a minor in California is the basis of a custody dispute, SB 107 tells California courts that they have clear jurisdiction to hear and decide the case. The new law tells California courts that they should not apply another state’s laws against gender-affirming care when deciding the case. But courts should consider out-of-state laws when deciding whether to give up jurisdiction if it would lead to parents being penalized for providing medical care to their child in California that is legal in California.
