Chloe Cole Act of 2026

(a) No waiver. No liability for a health care professional under these provisions may be waived.

(b) Ambiguities. Any ambiguities shall be resolved against any party found to have engaged in participation in a covered intervention on a child.

(c) Standards of care. In any cases in which a covered intervention on a child is shown to have occurred before the date of enactment of this Act, there is limited deference to prevailing standards of care to the extent that such standards contradict the intent of this Act and it is shown that the health care professional knew or should have known that such standards of care were in serious, scientific, and medical dispute at the time of the covered intervention.

(d) Provision of information. Nothing in this Act shall be construed to prohibit a health care professional from providing information about all available treatment options, discussing risks and benefits, or expressing professional medical opinions, so long as such actions do not constitute participation in a covered intervention.
