Arkansas law banning gender-transition treatment for young people would adversely affect businesses by harming employees and impairing companies ability to attract and retain a diverse workforce, a group of Arkansas companies and industry groups argued in a friend-of-the court brief filed Friday.
Act 626, officially titled the Save Adolescents From Experimentation Act, was passed during this year s legislative session and would prohibit doctors from providing gender-affirming hormones and surgical procedures to transgender young people. It is the subject of a federal lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union of Arkansas, which is seeking to block the law from going into effect.
