Support the Yaeli Martinez Child Protection Act to protect parents from child-welfare penalties for affirming a child's biological sex or shielding a child from irreversible medical procedures.

The Yaeli Martinez Child Protection Act would: Protect parents from wrongful abuse allegations by clarifying that affirming a child’s biological sex does not constitute child abuse. Safeguard parental custody by barring federally funded state child-welfare systems from removing children from fit parents simply because those parents affirm their child’s biological sex. Ensure foster and adoptive families cannot be denied placement solely because they affirm a child’s biological sex. Amend the Parental Kidnapping Prevention Act to prevent states from wrongfully asserting custody over a child. Hold states accountable through federal funding consequences and a private right of action for violations of the Act. Original Cosponsors: Reps. Josh Brecheen (OK-02), Sheri Biggs (SC-03), Barry Moore (AL-01), Randy Fine (FL-06), John Rose (TN-06), Mark Alford (MO-04), Rich McCormick (GA-07), Robert Aderholt (AL-04), Marlin Stutzman (IN-03), Mark Harris (NC-08), Diana Harshbarger (TN-01), and Erin Houchin (IN-09).

The press release lists Josh Brecheen as an original cosponsor of the Yaeli Martinez Child Protection Act, which would limit child-welfare actions against parents, foster families, and adoptive families who affirm a child's biological sex.
