Authored an exception to the transition ban

May 12, 2023

Talarico offered Amendment 11 to Senate Bill 14, exempting health providers to the extent that compliance with the prohibitions conflicted with the Hippocratic oath. It failed 56 to 82, record vote 1677, journal pages 4203 and 4204.

Conservative assessment

An ethics-based carve-out of this breadth would have weakened the blanket restriction by leaving the judgment with the treating provider.

Compare this 2023 record with his 2026 statewide message in The surgery stance behind the statewide rebranding.
