Attorney General Tim Griffin today issued the following statement after filing an amicus brief in the Supreme Court of Texas on behalf of 21 other state attorneys general in support of a Texas law prohibiting pediatric gender-transition procedures:

“States are responsible for protecting the health and safety of their children from dangerous and experimental medical procedures. Like Arkansas’s SAFE Act, Texas’s similar law is presumptively constitutional as it regulates gender-transition procedures for all minors, regardless of sex.”

Other states joining Arkansas in the brief include Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia and West Virginia.
