What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill says that public elementary and middle schools must get permission from a student's parents before making certain changes related to that student's gender. Specifically, schools would need parental consent before changing a student's gender markers, pronouns, or preferred name on school forms, or before changing which bathrooms or locker rooms a student uses. Schools that don't follow this rule could lose certain federal education funding.
