Four Florida residents have filed a motion in federal court seeking an emergency block on provisions in SB 254 that have created "arbitrary, harmful, and medically unjustified restrictions on medically necessary healthcare for transgender adults." Olivia Noel, Kai Pope, Lucien Hamel, and Rebecca Cruz Evia are facing dangerous disruptions in their ongoing medical care due to this Florida law. The motion for preliminary injunction follows the filing of an amended complaint on July 21 expanding the case, Doe v. Ladapo, to challenge state law SB 254’s restrictions on medical care for transgender adults and seeking class-wide relief for all transgender minors and adults who require medical care restricted by SB 254. The plaintiffs are represented by Southern Legal Counsel, GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders, the National Center for Lesbian Rights, and the Human Rights Campaign. The statement issued by them says, “SB 254’s restrictions on well-established medical care cause profound harm, serve no legitimate purpose, and reflect gross legislative overreach. SB 254 takes away Floridians’ ability to make important decisions about their own lives and hands it over to the government instead. That should alarm us all.” The federal district court issued a prior preliminary injunction on June 6 halting enforcement of the ban on healthcare for transgender minors and saying the ban is likely unconstitutional. That order allows Florida parents to access necessary medical care for their transgender children.
