ALT IT IS ORDERED: 1. It is declared that Florida Statutes § 286.31(2) and Florida Administrative Code rule 59G-1.050(7) are invalid to the extent they categorically ban Medicaid payment for puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for the treatment of gender dysphoria. 2. The defendants Jason Weida, in his official capacity, and the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (a) must approve Medicaid payment for services rendered from this date forward for the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of the plaintiffs August Dekker, Brit Rothstein, Susan Doe, and K.F. for gender dysphoria, including with puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, as recommended by their multidisciplinary teams, and (b) must not take any steps to prevent the administration of cross-sex hormones to August Dekker or Brit Rothstein or to prevent the administration of puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones to Susan Doe or K.F. But this injunction does not preclude the

ALT defendants from applying the professional standards that would apply to use of the same substances to treat patients with other medical conditions. 3. This injunction binds the defendants and their officers, agents, servants, employees, and attorneys—and others in active concert or participation with any of them—who receive actual notice of this injunction by personal service or otherwise. 4. The clerk must enter judgment and close the file. 5. Jurisdiction is retained to award costs and attorney’s fees. SO ORDERED on June 21, 2023. s/Robert L. Hinkle United States District Judge
