Two tracks on one statute. Medical is an enacted ban for all ages. Schools is a separate article. Those tracks stay separate.

The Law of Georgia on the Protection of Family Values and Minors (English; No. 4437-XVIმს-Xმპ, 17 September 2024; published 3 October 2024; in force on the 60th day after promulgation).

Article 6 — Use of medical manipulation. Official English: it shall be forbidden to perform surgery on a person or use any other type of medical manipulation with regard to such person in order to assign him/her to a sex different from his/her biological sex. The rule is not limited to minors.

Article 8 — Education, separately, forbids including, in school and preschool programmes, or disseminating on school territory, information aimed at popularising assignment to neither biological sex, or to a sex different from biological sex. The General Education Law was amended the same day (Art. 81) to the same effect.
