The ACLU has ended its more than three-year challenge to Indiana’s law that bans gender-transition procedures for children.

On Tuesday, Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita announced that a federal judge entered final judgment for the state and dismissed the remaining claims with prejudice.

“We have won this critical fight against radicals who would otherwise impose this horrific practice on our kids for ideological and financial reasons,” Rokita said. “My office will keep standing between our children and those who would sacrifice their health, innocence, and well-being on the altar of woke gender ideology.”

In 2023, the Indiana General Assembly passed Senate Enrolled Act 480, which prohibits physicians and other practitioners from providing gender-transition procedures to anyone under 18, including surgeries, cross-sex hormones, and puberty blockers.

After the ACLU sued, a lower court temporarily blocked the law. Then, Rokita’s office appealed.

In February 2024, the Seventh Circuit sided with the attorney general, lifted that block, and allowed the law to take effect. The Seventh Circuit sided with Rokita again in November of that year, maintaining that the law does not violate the Constitution.

After seeing no path forward, the ACLU abandoned the rest of the case.

“Indiana’s commonsense law has already been in effect and protecting Hoosier children from these dangerous and irreversible procedures,” Rokita added.

AG Rokita said this ruling should close the challenge for good.
