Minnesota enacted a law in April 2023 to protect access to gender-affirming care and safeguard patient and clinician privacy.

Minnesota has established itself as a "trans refuge" state by enacting a law that protects access to gender-affirming care, signed by Governor Tim Walz in April 2023. This legislation safeguards patient and clinician privacy and prevents out-of-state subpoenas. It was a response to anti-trans laws in neighboring states, resulting in a 30% rise in calls for care at Children's Minnesota, which now faces a year-long waitlist for new patients.
