STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS31275 / H0538
This legislation will protect people of Idaho with law that prohibits any government entity in the state of
Idaho from compelling any public employee to communicate preferred personal titles or pronouns that do
not correspond with biological sex of the individual seeking to be referred to by such title or pronoun. No
person should be subject to coercion by any government entity in the state of Idaho to communicate in any
way statements that such person prefers not to communicate. A government entity that compels speech would
deprive persons the fundamental right to free speech guaranteed by the 1st Amendment.
