Trans Rights Advocacy Coalition Celebrates a Successful 2023 Legislative Session
ANNAPOLIS, MD (Monday, April 10, 2023) – As the Maryland General Assembly adjourns sine die, the Trans Rights Advocacy Coalition (TRAC) celebrates a successful session and looks forward to working with the legislature and the Moore-Miller administration to protect and advance the rights of transgender and gender diverse Marylanders. The biggest win this session was the passage of SB460/HB283, the Trans Health Equity Act. The legislation will expand Maryland Medicaid coverage of gender-affirming healthcare, fully aligning that care with current clinical standards. The bill passed the House by a vote of 97-39, the Senate by a vote of 31-15, and goes into effect on October 1, 2023.
