Case Summary

This case centers around Senate Bill 613, an Oklahoma bill passed in September 2022, which bans gender-affirming care for minors in Oklahoma. Specifically, SB 613 mandates that “[a] healthcare provider shall not knowingly provide gender transition procedures to any child.” The banned gender transition procedures include surgical procedures and drugs administered “for the purpose of attempted to affirm the minor’s perception of his or her gender or biological sex, if that perception is inconsistent with the minor’s biological sex.” SB 613 explicitly allows healthcare providers to administer the same surgical procedurals or therapeutic drug treatment for some other purpose outside of gender transition. Any healthcare provider found to be in violation of SB 613 is guilty of professional misconduct and a felony in the state of Oklahoma. SB 6123 went into effect when the Oklahoma governor signed it into law on May 1, 2023.

On May 2, 2023, a group of families with transgender adolescents and a medical provider who supports transgender youth filed a lawsuit against various State Defendants and Hospital Defendants in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma. The State Defendants included the Attorney General of Oklahoma, individual members of the Oklahoma State Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision (OSBMLS), individual members of the Oklahoma Board of Nursing (OBN), and individual members of the Oklahoma State Board of Osteopathic Examiners (OSBOE); the Hospital Defendants included the University Hospitals Authority (UHA), the University Hospitals Trust (UHT), individual members of the UHA and UHT, OU Medicine, and the president of OU Medicine. The Plaintiffs in this case were represented by the ACLU of Oklahoma, Lambda Legal, and private counsel.

The Plaintiffs alleged that SB 613 unjustly and unfairly discriminated against transgender minors and their healthcare providers on the basis of sex and transgender status, in violation of their rights under Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. This discrimination, plaintiffs alleged, also violated Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act. Plaintiffs also alleged that SB 613 violated their due process right to parental autonomy to seek and follow medical advice to protect the health and wellbeing of their minor children. Plaintiffs asked the court to grant declaratory and injunctive relief, as well as attorneys’ fees. This case was assigned to Judge John F. Heil, III.

Contemporaneously with their complaint, Plaintiffs filed a motion for preliminary injunction, asking the court to enjoin defendants from enforcing SB 613 while the case proceeded.

On June 9, 2023, the United States filed a Statement of Interest in support of Plaintiffs in this case. The United States argued that by denying transgender minors—and only transgender minors—access to medically necessary and appropriate care, SB 613 violates the Equal Protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Also on June 9, two medical groups filed amicus curiae briefs in support of the Plaintiffs. One brief was filed by a group of 23 national and state healthcare organizations, including the American Pediatric Association, representing thousands of healthcare professionals. The brief provided background on gender identity and gender dysphoria, described the professionally-accepted and rigorously studied medical guidelines for treating gender dysphoria in minors, and argued that enforcement of SB 613 would irreparably harm adolescents with gender dysphoria by denying crucial care to those who need it. The other amicus curiae brief was filed by a group of nine biomedical ethics and public health scholars, arguing that SB 613 undermined biomedical ethics, science, and public health, without any regard for the harm that would come from denying needed healthcare.

On June 16, 2023, nineteen states filed an amicus brief in support of defendants. The amici states included Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, and West Virginia. The amici states argued that the banned healthcare practices were experimental and not evidence-based, and that SB 613 did not violate the Equal Protection clause.

Also on June 16, 2023, defendants filed several motions to dismiss Plaintiffs' complaint and their opposition to Plaintiff’s motion for preliminary injunction. Following several rounds of motion practice and oral argument, the court denied Plaintiffs’ motion for preliminary injunction on October 5, 2023. Judge Heil found that SB 613 did not discriminate based on sex or transgender status, but rather restricted particular medical procedures for a particular age group. Because age-based legislative restrictions are subject to rational review instead of heightened scrutiny, plaintiffs were unlikely to succeed in their Equal Protections claim. Judge Heil also found that there is no substantive due process right for parents to choose for their minor children to undergo the gender-affirming medical treatments at issue in SB 613. The court found that defendants had a compelling interest in and duty to protect the lives and health of minors in Oklahoma, and it was the legislature’s job—and not the court’s—to determine how to protect those minors. 2023 WL 6516449.

The next day, on October 6, 2023, Plaintiffs appealed the court’s denial of preliminary injunction to the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit (23-5110).

Throughout the rest of 2023 and into 2024, parties proceeded through several rounds of motion practice. The amici from the district court again filed as amici in the Tenth Circuit, and several new groups and individuals joined as amici as well. Specifically, the following additional amici filed briefs in support of the Plaintiffs: the United States of America; 20 states and the District of Columbia (California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington); a group of 11 international LGBTQ+ advocacy organizations; a group of 4 national and state-level LGBTQ+ advocacy organizations; a group of 15 transgender adults; and Elliot Page and 56 other individuals. On the other hand, the following amici joined in support of defendants: a group of current and former conservative legislators and activists; Family Research Council, a faith-based educational non-profit; Alliance Defending Freedom, a Christian legal advocacy group; Do No Harm and the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs.

Oral argument was held on January 17, 2024 before judges Harris Hartz, Gregory A. Phillips, and Joel M. Carson III. As of March 29, 2024, this case is pending before the Tenth Circuit.
