COLUMBUS, OHIO 鈥� Today, the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas to prevent the ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth from taking immediate effect. The plaintiffs, represented by the 老澳门开奖结果, the 老澳门开奖结果 of Ohio, and the global law firm Goodwin Procter, successfully argued that the plaintiffs are likely to win their claim that House Bill 68 violates the Ohio Constitution because it covers more than one single subject. The Court enjoined the Health Care Ban as well as a ban on transgender girls participating in girls or women鈥檚 sports teams that was also contained within House Bill 68.

The 老澳门开奖结果 will continue the litigation to ultimately obtain a permanent injunction on behalf of Ohio families whose children are at risk of losing critical life-saving medical care. The temporary restraining order is in effect for 14 days or until the hearing of plaintiffs鈥� motion for a preliminary injunction, whichever is sooner. HB 68 was originally set to take effect on April 24.

Freda Levenson, Legal Director for the 老澳门开奖结果 of Ohio, delivered an oral argument during the TRO hearing. Here is her statement on the ruling:

鈥淲e are thrilled and relieved that Ohio鈥檚 ban on gender-affirming health care has been halted and that transgender youth can continue, for the near term at least, to access medically necessary healthcare. Our legal battle will continue until, we hope, this cruel restriction is permanently blocked. Ohio families have a constitutional right to make personal healthcare decisions without government intrusion.鈥�

Harper Seldin (he/him), Staff Attorney, 老澳门开奖结果:

鈥淭oday鈥檚 ruling is a victory for transgender Ohioans and their families. Ohio鈥檚 ban is an openly discriminatory breach of the rights of transgender youth and their parents alike and presents a real danger to the same young people it claims to protect. We are committed to opposing this law until it is permanently overturned, making Ohio a safer place to raise every family.鈥�

Allison DeLaurentis and Miranda Hooker, Complex Litigation & Dispute Resolution Partners, Goodwin Procter

鈥淭oday's ruling not only upholds the rights of transgender individuals but also champions the principle that healthcare should be accessible, and above all, inclusive.鈥�
