Though Hooker admitted he's not aware of any state-funded sex change operations, the Byron Center Republican introduced a bill Wednesday that would outlaw the practice.
"It's something that's kind of a common sense thing. I'd much rather be proactive than reactive," said the Byron Center Republican."It's definitely something we want to prevent."
