FILE - People gather in front of the Idaho Statehouse in opposition to anti-transgender legislation moving through an Idaho Republican congress, Friday, Feb. 24, 2023, in Boise, Idaho. The U.S. Supreme Court's decision on Monday, April 15, 2024, allows the state to put in place a 2023 law that subjects physicians to up to 10 years in prison if they provide hormones, puberty blockers or other gender-affirming care to people under age 18. A federal judge in Idaho had previously blocked the law in its entirety. (Darin Oswald/Idaho Statesman via AP, File)

In a story published April 16, 2024, The Associated Press reported that at least 20 states are enforcing bans on gender-affirming care for minors. The story should have made clear that those states are in addition to Idaho, and that all are among the 24 that have passed laws imposing such bans.
