Summary
The bill changes Iowa law so that raising, guiding, or instructing a child in a way that matches the child’s sex is not considered child abuse or endangerment. It also bars state agencies from denying licenses, custody, or adoption based on that parenting approach. The measure aims to safeguard gender‑affirming parenting practices.
