The new ruling came after the high court upheld a Tennessee ban on transgender procedures for minors.
The Supreme Court on June 30 threw out several lower court rulings, directing judges to take a second look at their decisions in light of a recent ruling that upheld Tennesseeโs ban on transgender procedures for minors.
Three of the casesโfrom West Virginia, North Carolina, and Idahoโconcern whether a state may exclude transgender surgeries from coverage under various health insurance plans. A fourth case concerns whether Oklahoma is violating the U.S. Constitution by stating that birth certificates reflect a personโs sex at birth.
The new orders were announced on the courtโs order list.
On June 18, the Supreme Court upheld Tennesseeโs ban on providing such interventions as cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers for minors experiencing gender dysphoria.
In a 6โ3 decision, the nationโs highest court disagreed with the Biden administrationโs argument that the law should face higher legal scrutiny than had been applied by an appeals court.
