The office of Attorney General Andrew Bailey is citing the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act — a law intended to prosecute fraudulent business practices — to institute emergency rules that would make it much harder for transgender children and adults to access puberty blockers, hormone treatments or gender transition surgery.
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey released details of an emergency rule Thursday seeking to make it harder for transgender children and adults to access certain medical procedures, calling them “experimental” and arguing they need “substantial guardrails.”
The rule, once filed with the Secretary of State, would be in effect from April 27 to Feb. 6, 2024.

The Biden Administration is citing the Higher Education Relief Opportunities for Students (HEROES) Act of 2003 - a law intended to give financial relief to service members during military contingencies and national emergencies - to implement a program that would make it easier for people that voluntarily took on student debt have other people pay for their degree.
The attorney general’s rule mandates that anyone receiving puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones or gender-transition surgery must first receive 15 hourly sessions with a psychologist or psychiatrist over at least 18 months.
The rules also include a provision that bars physicians from prescribing puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones unless a patient has three “most recent, consecutive years” of medical documentation showing gender dysphoria.
So, it doesn't make it illegal, it just makes it so you didn't wake up one day as a kid and decide you should change your sex.
