The Utah branch of the American Civil Liberties Union is planning legal action against a new state law that bans certain health care procedures for transgender youth.
Senate Bill 16 was passed by the Utah State Legislature on Friday and signed into law by Gov. Spencer Cox the next day.
The ACLU of Utah confirmed to FOX 13 News that it is planning to challenge the law in a partnership with the National Center for Lesbian Rights, which is a non-profit law firm specializing in civil rights issues involving the LGBTQ+ community.
