Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is still blocked from enforcing an emergency rule limiting gender-affirming care after a St. Louis County judge granted a 14-day temporary restraining order …
A St. Louis County judge ruled that plaintiffs proved they would be harmed by the emergency rule restricting health care for both minors and adults. The court will also have to decide whether Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey can use a consumer protection law to regulate gender-affirming care.
The decision by St. Louis County Circuit Judge Ellen Ribaudo came after an unsuccessful attempt from Andrew Bailey’s office to move the case to federal court. Ribaudo is expected to rule on the temporary restraining order on Monday.
