FILE - Mike DeWine speaks, Jan. 14, 2019, in Cedarville, Ohio. Ohio's Health Department has backed off proposed rules that would have restricted gender-affirming care for adults.

Transgender people and their healthcare providers feared the original rules would have left thousands of patients scrambling to find care — and facing health risks in the meantime. The proposed rules are also relaxed for requirements for treatment for minors, some of which was banned by a law adopted last month when the Legislature overrode Gov. Mike DeWine's earlier veto.
