Summary

The bill bars teachers and other school employees or contractors from calling a student by any name or pronoun that differs from the student’s birth‑certificate information unless a parent or guardian provides written consent. It also protects staff who refuse to use pronouns that conflict with their religious or moral beliefs. Violations can be pursued through a civil‑rights complaint or a private lawsuit.
