Full official record

Puerto Rico Ley Núm. 63-2025 (16 July 2025) defines a minor as any person under 21 and forbids medical institutions and health professionals from surgical interventions or drug treatments that alter the biology of sex of a minor under the pretext of gender transition or as treatment for gender dysphoria — including puberty blockers and sex hormones (androgen blockers, oestrogens, progesterone, or testosterone) and surgeries that modify or remove sex organs. Publicly funded bodies may not spend on those procedures. A DSD / physiological genetic or hormonal-dysfunction carve-out requires pediatric-endocrinologist or pediatrician certification. Criminal and professional penalties attach (fixed 15-year term; licence revocation; $50,000 fine for legal persons). No court-order URL showing repeal was located. This is a U.S. territory card on the United States hub — not a 50th state and not on the state map.

Puerto Rico is not a U.S. state and is not on the U.S. map. Puerto Rico banned sex-rejecting drugs and surgeries for people under 21.
