CNN —Indiana’s ban on transition care for minors can take effect, an appeals court ruled Tuesday, issuing a stay on the district court’s ruling that blocked parts of the law last summer.
The ruling from the US Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in Chicago ordered the preliminary injunction from the district court in June 2023 to be stayed – meaning the law will take effect immediately.
Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita, a Republican, applauded the ruling in an audio statement shared with CNN.
“Following the court’s order yesterday, Indiana’s common-sense law is now enforceable again,” Rokita said.
“Meaning that we’re going to be banning dangerous and irreversible gender transition procedures for minors.
