Florida Sen. Blaise Ingoglia, R-Spring Hill, introduced legislation he dubbed the “Reverse Woke Act” that would require employers that pay for gender dysphoria treatment also cover the full cost of treatment that reverses gender dysphoria treatment, if it becomes necessary, regardless of whether that worker is still employed at the company, HR Dive reports. The bill would require employers to cover detransition care even if obtained out of state, according to the current text of the measure, introduced Feb. 20. If enacted, the law would take effect July 1.
