NY attorney general demands hospital resume gender-affirming treatment for trans youth
The attorney general cited state anti-discrimination laws and gave NYU Langone 10 business days to resume gender-affirming care or face further legal action.
- On March 3, 2026, the AG's office ordered NYU Langone to resume services for youths under 19 and gave a March 11 deadline for compliance.
- Citing its recent departure of a medical director and the current regulatory environment, NYU Langone announced last month it would halt certain youth treatments, prompting the AG to order the hospital to resume services by March 11.
- A Feb. 25 letter from the attorney general's office cited New York state anti-discrimination law, received multiple complaints, and said federal proposals do not change legal obligations, Darsana Srinivasan noted.
- The AG's office said it would take 'further action' if NYU Langone does not resume care by March 11, but declined to specify steps; the hospital declined to comment.
- Despite proposals not being final, the dispute highlights a clash between New York's anti-discrimination law and the Trump administration's funding threats, with Mount Sinai also pausing services in recent weeks.
