His reason was preventing rising healthcare costs. But the drugs are cheap relatively, and Washington already has a similar law with no rise in healthcare costs.

WA's law only applies to healthcare plans started or renewed in 2026 or later. HRT is cheap, so the costs should be minimal. But any costs this law could have haven't happened yet.

What is the name of the Washington law? I'm interested and would love to do some reading on it :)

It's HB 1971 More details on the legislature's bill tracker.
