What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This bill says that elementary and secondary schools can only receive federal funding if they tell parents when a student identifies as a gender different from their sex and get parental permission before making any related accommodations at school. School employees would not be allowed to keep information from parents about a student's gender identity, any discomfort with their sex, or any desire to transition. If a school breaks these rules, the Department of Justice or a parent or guardian could sue the school.
