| Maine Bill Threatens NH Families Yesterday I was alerted to a proposed bill in Maine that could threaten the safety of families in New Hampshire. LD 1735, an ACT to safeguard gender affirming care, proposes a litany of protections for gender affirming care (in the most horrible legalize). Section 6 of this bill refers to “abandoned child” and reads: “Abandoned child; emergency. A court of this State has temporary emergency jurisdiction if the child is present in this State and the child has been abandoned or it is necessary in an emergency to protect the child because the child or a sibling or parent of the child is subjected to or threatened with mistreatment or abuse or because the child has been unable to obtain gender-affirming health care or gender-affirming mental health care.” Essentially this means a child whose parents object to gender affirming care could run away to ME and become a ward of the state to receive gender affirming care. Section 8 modifies the Maine Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act to encourage non-custodial parents or temporary guardians, such as friends or relative to transport a child to Maine for the purposes of obtaining gender affirming care. “Prohibition. In making a determination under this section, a court may not consider as a factor weighing against the petitioner any taking of the child, or retention of the child after a visit or other temporary relinquishment of physical custody, from the person who has legal custody, if there is evidence that the taking or retention of the child was for the purposes of obtaining gender-affirming health care or gender-affirming mental health care for the child and the law or policy of the other state limits the ability of a parent to obtain gender-affirming health care or gender-affirming mental health care for the parent’s child.” Take Action The bill has a hearing Friday, May 12th at 1 pm in Judiciary.
