Summary
The bill bars any use of federal money to require federal workers or contractors to refer to someone by pronouns that differ from their biological sex or by a name that isn’t the person’s legal name. It also gives those employees a private right to sue the agency that forces the requirement, allowing for damages and attorney fees. The sponsors say the measure protects honest speech in the workplace.
