First reading: referred to Committee on Health and Provider Services
Summary
The bill creates a single definition of “sex” and “gender” based on biological traits and makes the two terms synonymous in Indiana law. It requires the state health department to undo any court‑ordered changes to a person’s sex on a birth certificate, to issue a new certificate showing the original sex, and to share that information with designated agencies. It also mandates gender‑specific restrooms in public buildings, schools and certain businesses, bars schools from requiring pronouns or names that differ from a student’s biological sex, and prohibits prisons and jails from housing inmates in facilities that do not match their biological sex.
