AG Kaul joins lawsuit to block declaration limiting access to gender-affirming care for youth

Attorney General Josh Kaul is announced that Wisconsin joined a coalition of states last week in suing to block the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) from enforcing a declaration that attempts to limit access to gender-affirming care for young people. AG Kaul and the coalition argue that this declaration violates federal statutes by unlawfully changing medical standards without going through the notice and comment process and undermining states’ long-standing authority to regulate medicine. AG Kaul and the coalition are asking the court to rule the HHS declaration unlawful and block its enforcement.
