The proposed bill, titled the "Freedom of Conscience in the Workplace Act," aims to establish specific employment practices related to gender identity in Florida. It defines key terms such as "employee," "contractor," "employer," "gender identity," and "gender ideology," asserting that a person's sex is an immutable biological trait. The bill prohibits employees and contractors from being compelled to use pronouns that do not correspond to their biological sex and restricts job applications from including non-binary options for sex identification. Additionally, it protects individuals from adverse personnel actions based on their sincerely held beliefs against gender ideology, whether expressed at work or elsewhere.

The bill also amends existing laws to classify it as an unlawful employment practice for employers receiving state funding to mandate training or activities related to sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression as a condition of employment. It provides for administrative and civil remedies for violations, including the awarding of reasonable attorney fees to prevailing parties. The Department of Management Services is authorized to adopt rules for the administration of this section. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
