The proposed bill, titled the "Freedom of Conscience in the Workplace Act," establishes new regulations regarding gender identity in employment practices in Florida. It creates a new section, 112.0456, which defines key terms such as "adverse personnel action," "contractor," "employee," "employer," "gender identity," "gender ideology," and "sex." The bill asserts that a person's sex is an immutable biological trait and prohibits employees and contractors from being required to use pronouns that do not correspond to their biological sex. Additionally, it mandates that job applications can only inquire if an applicant is male or female, excluding nonbinary options. The bill also prohibits adverse personnel actions based on an individual's beliefs regarding gender ideology and provides for administrative and civil remedies for violations.

Furthermore, the bill amends section 760.10 of the Florida Statutes to make it an unlawful employment practice for employers receiving state funding to require training or activities related to sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression as a condition of employment. It reenacts subsections of section 760.11 to incorporate these amendments and outlines the process for filing complaints regarding violations. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
