Indiana SEA 480 youth gender-affirming care ban
Indiana Senate Enrolled Act 480 bars specified gender-affirming medical care for transgender people under 18. A federal court dismissed the current ACLU challenge in September 2026 after controlling appellate precedent, leaving the restriction in force. The dismissal does not establish that every possible future legal challenge is exhausted.
