Trump Admin Takes Step on Rule Barring Federal Funds from Hospitals That Transition Kids
The Unified Agenda of Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions for 2026 was initially posted without the rule included, but it was added to the agenda on Wednesday afternoon, the Daily Signal has learned.

In December, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services issued two draft notices of proposed rulemaking that work together to prevent taxpayers from funding transgender procedures at Medicare- and Medicaid-certified hospitals.
