The Protect Children's Innocence Act aims to amend U.S. Code to criminalize genital and bodily mutilation and chemical castration of minors, with specific exceptions for medical necessity. The bill outlines penalties and defines terms related to these practices, while also specifying circumstances under which these actions are prosecutable.

The Quiet Ledger grades legislation on its content. A bill grade is analysis of the bill — not a grade of its sponsor or of any member who voted on it.
