Summary

The bill makes clear that a parent or legal guardian who raises a child consistent with the child’s biological sex—such as using matching pronouns or making medical decisions based on that sex—cannot be found guilty of child abuse, neglect, or endangerment, nor can it trigger removal of the child. Courts also may not treat this as a negative factor when determining the child’s best‑interest custody arrangement. It applies to all children and their caregivers in the state.
